How do I change the music station or play a different radio within my home? Where do I go for this?

Hi ToiBesa,

Presuming you're talking about a Linden Home or a parcel over which you have management rights, this webpage would apply...

You'll want to set the URL of the streaming media source in the "Sound" tab of the "About Land" window.

If you're renting a space on someone else's parcel, contact your landlord for instructions on playing music in your home.

and here is how you can obtain the URL and port address of many available stations...

Take a look at www.shoutcast.com to id stations that are playing content you want to hear.

Then Lets say you want Nature Sounds...

Go to

http://www.shoutcast.com/radio/Nature

Pick any MP3** stream link and right-mouse click on it. Select the Save target as... ????.pls to your desktop. Open it with any text editor. Inside you will see something like the following:

[playlist] numberofentries=1 File1=http://88.80.200.195:8000 Title1=(#1 - 13/80) stream.silent.li organic relax radio: nature sounds Length1=-1 Version=2

The Land URLs is the http://....at File=1

In this example http://88.80.200.195:8000

Good Listening to you!

P.S. ** It's important that you pick a station broadcasting streaming MP3 because the FMOD service that comes with SL only recognizes and supports this method.
