The more easy way is open any file in this zip, and paste your link and save it. or you can even drag and drop the file into notepad and edit. :) guys,

Put it into your video folder. Now it will show up in Media Center. also works for mms streams.

I'll have to check out my local radio stations as well to see if they have similar streams up. I haden't even though of using this for radio before. Thanks for the tip!

Most feeds retain the same url indefinitely, but some randomize every time you open, so this method won't work in those cases.

Look for a “.asf” file. My local station “Rock 102 had an url of “http://72.26.207.26/3156-WMA-WAQY-FM-32?MSWMExt=.asf”

Now, open notepad and paste this into it…(replace brackets with carrots)

[ASX version="3"]
[Entry]
[ref href="your-url-here.asf" /]
[/Entry]
[/ASX]

Replace the url you found in the reference url entry, and save the file as “yourfilenamehere”.asx

Open file to listen to your feed. Most feeds retain the same url indefinitely, but some randomize every time you open, so this method won’t work in those cases.

There are thousands and thousands of feeds this will work with...including internet radio.<br/>I used to use these links for some of my local radio stations. I'm going to go find the urls now.

So, I created a new folder under my photos and videos directory called NASA Stations, and tried to add that dir directly to my library... but it would not show up under Videos or Photos! Yet, they did show up under playlists in My Music!<br/><br/>So, I eventually moved that directory to one that was already indexed by videos, and then it showed up. Weird, eh? Thanks MHealy.

You can check which folders these are under Tasks > Manage Libraries. These won't appear under the movie libraries, only videos. They should appear under the same name as the file.
