Streaming and Internet Radio

[blaubär]

In Neutron you can play streams, and there's a huge collection of proposals to choose from. First make sure that "Settings > User Interface > Optional Features > Network" is activated. If you would like to have a button for streaming on the top panel you can configure that in "Settings > User Interface > Panel: Top".

Open it from the library or from the top panel.

Type the address ( Neutron's editor doesn't sport a cursor, so just start typing ) or copy the address and paste it with the left button.

As far as we're concerned here Icecast and Shoutcast are lists of internet radio stations. Select one, Neutron will scan it for some time

Excellent functionality as for a regular Internet radio. I like [...], I went to test it.

...what does some paid boosting site have to do with streaming services and Neutron?
