M4+ can play thousands of radio stations and podcasts from around the world
though a broadband Internet connection.
When you select Internet radio mode, M4+ contacts the Frontier Silicon
Internet radio portal to get a list of stations, organized into different
categories like Country, Most popular and Genre.
Once you select a station, M4+ connects directly to that station.
The portal also enables multiple lists of favourite stations that you can
personalise, for example Andy's stations, Jo's favourites, Talkshows. To use
the favourites feature, register your radio with the portal website. If you have
several Frontier Silicon radios, you can register them all on the same account
so that each radio has access to your favourite's lists. It is possible to add
favourites either directly through M4+ or through any computer with a web
browser.
To enter Internet Radio mode, either press Mode until the display shows
Internet Radio or select Menu >Main menu > Internet Radio.
Note: The station list menu is provided from the Internet radio portal, so it is
only accessible when M4+ is connected to the Internet. Station lists and
submenus may change from time to time.
There are several ways of selecting stations.

Ÿ Last listened
