Internet Radio: I cannot add the BBC channel

[zarco]

I am trying to add the bbc world service to my radio stations and I follow all the steps (copy the link, Add stream ...) but finally my 770 says that the archive is not compatible.
From the browser, I can listen to the radio without any problem: I tap on the link and it opens the video player in a separate window. After a few seconds the radio starts.
- Why it says the archive is not compatible if it can be opened from the browser?
- Why it opens the radio stream with the video player instead of the audio player?
thank you for you help

Because the BBC also uses realplayers ram format for the audio streams, the audioplayer only supports AAC,AMR, MP2,MP3 &WAV.

According to this (http://www.europe.nokia.com/faqsearch/ShowQA?id=50988&prod=1843&ch=79637&si=60&reg=3&adv=false&qt=) page the 770 Video player supports RealAudio video and audio formats so try streaming a BBC audio feed to the VIDEO player.

It works, but it's not the most intuitive way of working. I'd much prefer the smaller UI of the Internet Radio player and the ability to add specific channels as favourites which the realplayer makes less convenient.

Well maybe you should make one! just kidding, but not a bad idea...

The Radio must be picky about the type of MP3 stream, because I have gotten the file not compatible error with several MP3 Streams as well.

Somebody should start a topic on this forum for compatible radio stream URLs. This would be a great service.
