    This app supports internet radio stations that provide MP3 streams. So what you need is a link to such a stream OR a link to a .pls or .m3u file (playlists pointing to the stream).

    To find such URLs, you can use one of the following radio station directories

    http://www.usliveradio.com http://www.rum3ber.ch
    http://www.cbc.ca/listen/includes/directr1.html http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Internetradio/Stationen http://ninj.com/vradio http://www.mysnip.de http://www.listenlive.eu

    If you cannot find your station, please go to google search and search for "STATION NAME stream url" whereas you replace STATION NAME by the name of the station you are searching.
