Roku Radio Snooper

One of the biggest problems for users listening to Internet radio stations with devices such as the SoundBridge Radio is finding the address of a particular Internet radio station. There are tens of thousands of stations, but many dont publish their addresses, or they sometimes change unexpectedly. The Roku Radio Snooper solves this problem by showing users the addresses of their favorite stations. It also checks stations for compatibility with SoundBridge, and provides one-button playback of the station on the SoundBridge and the ability to set the station as a SoundBridge preset with one button click.

Firefly Media Server

The Firefly Media Server is an Open Source project sponsored by Roku and to which Roku is contributing code. Firefly supports SoundBridges new Roku Server Protocol (RSP), a Roku proprietary method of streaming a users music library to their SoundBridge that maximizes integration between the music library and the SoundBridge. Firefly is also an option for customers who want a high-performance server, the benefits of the community aspects of Open Source, or who want support for file formats such as FLAC. Firefly works with Windows, Macintosh or Linux. SoundBridge continues to focus on compatibility, and is the most compatible network music player with support for the largest number of music servers. Native support is included for Microsoft Windows Media Connect, Apple iTunes, Real Networks Rhapsody, Twonkyvision, Musicmatch, Yahoo Music Engine, Firefly Media Server and others.
