ABOUT. Here is an ASI-plugin, that makes it possible to listen to online radio stations right in game.
Flexible settings may set hotkeys and some playback parameters.
INSTALLING.
Put the AdvancedRadio.asi and AdvRadioCfg.ini files into the game directory.
ASI Loader should also be installed (comes with a CLEO library).
CONFIGURING.
An INI file contains following settings:
The PLAYLIST section sets an URLs to the audiostreams.
Such URLs can be found by opening M3U, PLS and other same files using a simple Notepad.
Attention: some URLs doesn't work. To check your URL on working, you may use
the Radio URL Test program (comes with a plugin). If you hear radio in this
program, then URL is ok.
URLs should be written completely (for example:
http://scfire-ntc-aa04.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1003).
If you don't need some radio station, you may just delete URL for it.
For example:
URL_1=http://scfire-ntc-aa04.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1003
URL_2=
URL_3=http://94.25.53.133:80/rock-192
Now the second radio station won't work.
Attention: you shouldn't create an additional radio stations except nine standard ones.
Their names (to the left from equal sign) should stay unchanged.

The KEYS section contains a codes of hotkeys (in decimal).
