KKSF selection in slim picks does not work

The KKSF selection URL does not work. This is also true of SqueezeCenter. I have tried to get a better one to no avail.
I'm not sure what URL you are using, but I was able to search for this station under Internet Radio->RadioTime->Search and play it readily. Is this under Slim Picks?

Yes, this is under Slim Picks. This happens both with my SB2 and with Softsqueeze, and has been happening for probably two, maybe three releases - although I believe it is primarily because they have been screwing around with the URL etc. This happens with SqueezeNetwork, and with SqueezeCenter (Internet Radio). Go to Slim Picks, select by city and select San Francisco, then try to play it. Absolutely nothing happens that I can see on the SB2, but on SoftSqueeze I see a brief message about a wma conversion error, which disappears shortly, and again nothing happens.
Given than when you go to radiotime.com to listen to KKSF you get a popup player via the KKSF website, I think there is some extra security going on here. I'm going to remove this station from Picks and if you want to listen to it, you can use RadioTime. Save the RadioTime link as a favorite for easier access. I think when we rework the Radio menu we should rethink our small "By City" lists in Picks and just defer to RadioTime.
Yes, we'll do this as part of the radio reorg for 7.3.
