Does anyone know how to do this? I'd like to add some more .FM stations to my iTunes but all I've been able to add thus far is DUBSTEP.FM, and that's only because they have a link on their home page that automatically does it. On ROCK.FM, and TECHNO.FM there isn't anything you can download/add to iTunes for the live feed. Is this just simply because it doesn't exist and you cannot do it?

I've also tried copying the DUBSTEP.FM file in iTunes and editing it to where it contains ROCK.FM, or TECHNO.FM and when you do that it renames the other .FM stations to the same thing and will then take you to the same place. Any help with this is greatly appreciated, even if that's just telling me you all have no idea and I should check into the Apple forums for help.

Thanks.
 
That's just a playlist file. The http lines in the file are the actual streaming locations, while the lines you're editing are just the titles of those items in the playlist. To edit your other stations into the playlist, you need to find the actual URL that's used for streaming.

I found http://www.live365.com/play/wwwrockfm by using AdBlock to see the subrequests from the Flash player on their page, and looking through the XML. If they don't publish the URL openly, you might have to dig through a bit of junk to get to what you need.
