Idea #28129: Post-upgrade Import / export of radio station lists is manual and tedious.

bug This idea was marked as implemented the 26 June 11. Available starting Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat.
Written by avetik the 16 Jun 11 at 22:28. Related project: Banshee Music Player. Status: Implemented
Rationale
You use Banshee to listen to your favorite radio stations. Some people have a lot of favorite radio stations. Today, Banshee player is not capable importing / exporting lists of your radio stations. Other players (such as VLC) can open m3u or pls playlists with radio stations and play them, but, unfortunately, Banshee was chosen as default media player. Banshee does not easily expose how exactly it stores these tracks, so writing a script to somehow inject that list into its database to a casual nb is a problem.

Selected solution (#1): re-use existing functionality?
Written by avetik the 16 Jun 11 at 22:28.
Since there is a function in Banshee to add a radio station, there must be an easy way to mass-add stations from a previously exported list. I don't know how to do it, but I have a gut feeling it is trivial.

Selected solution (#2): It's implemented already?

"Other players (such as VLC) can open m3u or pls playlists with radio stations and play them."

According to this [1] link, it has been implemented since version 1.2 already.

"Playlist Importing (.pls, .m3u)

Import your carefully created .m3u and .pls playlists."

To do this, simply go to Media > Import Playlist...
I haven't got .m3u or .pls with radiostations (or at all for that matter) to test it.
