<p class="p">With the DND feature plugin enabled, there's an even simpler
method now to export stations. Simply click and hold the mouse on a
stream entry, then drag it out to the desktop, file manager or
directly into VLC or any running music player. That'll usually
copy a stream/station address directly.</p>
<p class="p">Now it's not guaranteed to work with all applications or file
managers, as X11/Gtk DND support is somewhat arcane and wonky.
You may specifically have to adapt the default export format for
this. Generally a XSPF or PLS file gets created for file managers.
While VLC is one of the few applications that understands direct
playlist URLs or literal M3U/PLS payloads even.</p>

<div class="hgroup"><h2 class="title"><span class="title">Importing</span></h2></div>
<div class="region"><div class="contents">
<p class="p">Playlist importing also works mostly. Here the action module
takes care to unpack PLS, XPSF or M3U files and a few other
formats. If you drag in streams/playlists from other applications,
it'll usually be expanded.</p>
<div class="note note-warning" title="Warning"><div class="inner"><div class="region"><div class="contents"><p class="p">Take note that Streamtuner2 is not intended as playlist manager
though. It will only accept radio streaming lists and discard
local MP3/Ogg files.</p></div></div></div></div>
<p class="p">The import capabilities also allow to move a station entry
from one of the channel tabs into your bookmarks list. Simply drag
an entry over the "bookmarks" notebook tab then further along into
the favourite list. - While this also works the other way round,
it doesn't make sense to add bookmarks to Shoutcast/Xiph/etc.
Because when their lists get refreshed (<span class="key"><kbd>F5</kbd></span>) all custom
entries are usually dropped.</p>

<div class="region"><div class="contents">
<p class="p">Use <span class="key"><kbd>F12</kbd></span> and change the DND export format. Again
PLS is most universal, XSPF most complete, but other formats
still available. Use the "desktop" format only if you want to
bookmark direct playback links on your desktop.</p>
<div class="note" title="Note"><div class="inner"><div class="region"><div class="contents"><p class="p">This is a workaround, because XDND is commonly just implemented
as dumb file transfer scheme. Hardly any application specifies the
actually desired formats, thus there's no auto-negotiation. ST2
therefore has to create temporary export files and hope for the
best.</p></div></div></div></div>
