I got the soundbridge music player (very cool btw!). It's all hooked up and plays the music I have on my computer like magic. But I can't get it to play WOXY, or any other radio station for that matter. Everything plays fine in iTunes itself, but doesn't transfer to the stereo via soundbridge.

I have the soundbridge unit plugged into a wireless hub via ethernet. My computer is across the room. To I need a wifi card in the soundbridge unit itself? Does that make sense? I'm a bit lost.

I can't help on the specifics of the hardware, but if ANYTHING is working (which is sounds like files on your computer are working) then the wireless bridge isn't the problem.
Since I don't know anything about that piece of hardware, I can only offer some general troubleshooting tips. Do various kinds of files stored on your computer all work? Have you tried other kinds of streaming audio besides streaming mp3? does the windows media stream not work either? What about a real audio clip?
If one or more kinds of streaming audio work, then it is a configuration issue, something similar to a firewall issue.
IF none of them work, then I can't offer assistance.
good luck!

I have to use iTunes with this particular reciever, and as such, I can only use file formats that are recognized by iTunes. the WOXY stream works in iTunes, I can hear it on the computer, but the reciever comes back with an error message when I try to tune it in there.

Everything points to a configuration error, and I have a call in to RokuLabs support. Hopefully everything will be worked out tomorrow. I'll keep you posted, in case someone else decides to buy this thing.

Thanks for your help :)
