Install/Usage

Installing The Application

Copy the "radiow" directory to your SD under /apps
NOTE: DO NOT rename "radiow" directory.
Tested on PAL 3.2 - works fine.
Tested on NTSC 3.3v2, 4.0 - works great!

Playlists

Copy the playlist file to "/apps/radiow/pls" on your SD card
Saving playlists from WiiRadio will create a *.pls file under "/apps/radiow/pls".
Pressing the "+" button will add the playing station to the Playlists.

Internet Connection

Make sure you're getting a decent wireless connection on your Wii for better performance.

Free Space Requirements

WiiRadio requires free space on the SD card for caching. I'd recommend 10MB free.

Change Log

- Loading streams from a playlist have been changed and bugs fixed
- Added a playlist delete option

- Added Volume controls
- Added dynamic buffering (if your signal is weak)
