Description Neil Sleightholm 2007-11-18 14:38:44 UTC

I think the Virgin Radio urls on SlimPicks are not reliable. WikiRadio used these:

Virgin Radio UK: The music we all love - "http://mp3-vr-128.smgradio.com"
Virgin Radio Classic Rock: The original classic rock station - "http://mp3-vc-128.smgradio.com"
Virgin Xtreme: New music - no limits - "http://mp3-vx-128.smgradio.com"
Virgin Radio Groove: London's digital soul station - "http://mp3-gr-128.smgradio.com"

They seem to be more reliable and have the advantage of displaying the current playing song.

Also, the channel descriptions do not patch what the radio station actually uses.

Their mp3 stations were down a while ago, that's why Picks uses the WMA versions.  If they are fixed I'll go change them.

Comment 2 Neil Sleightholm 2007-11-19 13:16:30 UTC

They seem to be ok now and I found the other streams kept droping out.

Comment 3 Andy Grundman 2007-11-26 10:05:26 UTC

Fixed, changed all Virgin Radio links back to the mp3 streams.

Comment 4 Neil Sleightholm 2007-11-26 13:04:03 UTC

I know it's picky the title for the main station should be "Virgin Radio UK" not "Virgin Radio 1215 AM".
