Description Elliot West 2011-01-05 08:30:38 UTC
Last.fm has changed their available radio stations. Some stations have been removed and other added. The list provided to the SqueezeBoxServer  - presumably from MySqueezebox.com - does not reflect these changes. The most important omission is arguably 'Mix Radio' - a new Last.fm feature.

The outdated information being provided by MySqueezebox.com prevents SqueezeBox users from tuning to the new stations and also provides some station links that are no longer playable.

Further information on current station types is available here:
http://www.last.fm/api/radio

> * Library Radio (e.g. lastfm://user/last.hq/library )
> * Mix Radio (e.g. lastfm://user/last.hq/mix )

I was just wondering if there is a way to listen to the "My Mix Radio" on last.fm ?
It's a relatively new radio launched by last.fm.

In addition, My Squeezebox still shows the "Loved Tracks Radio", but last.fm discontinued it.

This still needs to be fixed however there is a workaround.

From the squeezebox server page ( HTTP:\\YOURSERVERNAMEORIP:9000) Highlight "Favorites" Click on the edit icon (small pencil) a new screen loads. Click add new favorite.  I made a new one called "Your Mix Station"  then for the URL put 

lfm://user/YOURUSERNAME/mix

Now I have a favorite on all my squeezeboxen that can play the mixed channels.
