They thought that selecting a .pls file should add it to the Home screen internet radio drop-down control, but instead it opened up via the audio player. That's the behaviour I see, and it only takes a couple of clicks to add the stream from audio player into the favourites, hence making it available on the Home screen. To be honest, I think that's the "correct" behaviour. I don't think that simply playing a stream should add it to the Home screen favourites - that would result in the favourites box growing quickly and becoming unwieldy if one hops streams often. > As far as 'proper' capture, I don't see why streamripper wouldn't work out > of the box (ISTR it has a CLI mode) and one of the gtk frontends should port > fairly easily.

I mean to have my 1gig card in my 770 all the time, so being able to swap it into my phone/camera/mp3 player/computer/cat just isn't that important to me. YMMV.
