What happened to DI.fm and Sky.fm?

[TeutonJon78]

At some point in the past, I was able to list all the available stations directly in the radio search section (maybe it was under the old "internet" section?).

I had added some to my favorites, which are still there, but I wanted to go back and listen to some others, and couldn't find the list. Did it get removed at some point?

I know I can still hand add them, but it used to be very easy.

i removed them because the links returned by the api just have a recorded message saying a premium subscription is required.
However i wonder if thats just a UK thing, so could you let me know one of the links you have that you got from the old MB version that still works for you

[TeutonJon78]

Yeah, the favorites I made in my old version still work perfectly fine for me. I'm in the US (which I'm guessing you could figure out by favorites instead of favourites   ). I haven't made any recently, so maybe they changed what playlists are returned. I made them a LONG time ago (like probably < 2.0). Perhaps you were requesting a higher bitrate now? The one that plays is still the one that plays ads during the stream, so it's definitely pulling the free one.

I supposed it wouldn't matter if there was a good place to get the XML file for them, but manually adding their multiple stations is kind of a pain.

unless you provide me with one of the links you are using i cant do anything further with this

I can confirm the following links for Sky.fm are working in MusicBee:

http://www.sky.fm/mp3/smoothjazz.pls
http://www.sky.fm/mp3/nature.pls

Edit: I just noticed that Sky.fm has been re-branded "RadioTunes".

Sorry, missed that part. I just thought you wanted to know if they worked

http://listen.di.fm/public3/classiceurodance.pls
http://listen.di.fm/public3/eurodance.pls
http://listen.di.fm/public3/tribalhouse.pls
http://listen.di.fm/public3/vocaltrance.pls
http://listen.sky.fm/public3/dancehits.pls
http://listen.sky.fm/public3/relaxation.pls

Are just a few.

I noticed that going into the di.fm and radiotunes (old sky.fm) website, that to use the non-flash player versions, they not require to use at least a free account to get access to the stream links, which then appends a token key (assigned to the account, I assume).

Perhaps that is why it stopped working by default in the UK? Maybe they wanted an account? They still work in MB though, without being logged in or having that token, so it seems to not really require it.
