	<title>Export all stations</title>

	<p>There's an "Export All" plugin available. It adds an entry under
	<guiseq><gui>Main menu</gui> <gui>Extensions</gui> <gui>Export all stations</gui></guiseq>.
	Which allows to export all stations from the currently visible channel category.</p>
	
	<p>This is of course intended primarily for saving your bookmarks.
	And it allows to import radio lists into any other music player
	or playlist collection/management app (such as Rhythmbox).</p>

	<section id="configuration">
	<title>Configuration option</title>
	<p>You can set the default export format in the settings dialog
	<key>F12</key>.</p>
	<p>Currently it only supports .PLS playlist exports however.</p>

<p class="p">Some audio players open a second instance when you actually want to switch radios.
	In this case it's a common workaround to write <span class="code">pkill vlc ; vlc %u</span> instead,

        For VLC there's however also the <span class="code">--one-instance</span> option, which sometimes

<p class="p">Some applications, like Rhythmbox or Banshee, are primarily playlist managers, not players,

      plugins often use a regex to match text. Occassionally the regex method is surprisingly more exact,

<p class="p">Simply double click a station entry. It starts with your configured audio player.</p>
<p class="p">In streamtuner2 you can configure different audio players for different audio
        formats (MP3 or OGG). In the <span class="link"><a href="config_apps.html" title="Audio players">Apps</a></span> section of the
        <span class="link"><a href="configuration.html" title="Settings dialog">settings dialog</a></span>, you can associate one player

<div class="note" title="Note"><div class="inner"><div class="region"><div class="contents"><p class="p">Note however that some audio players will run multiple instances and won't
        allow simple station switching. In such situations it might be sensible to write
        a wrapper script, or configure special commandline arguments to your favoured audio
        player (e.g. "vlc --one-instance").</p></div></div></div></div>
<p class="p">It's also possible to save a station entry as .m3u or .pls file, and load this manually
        in your player. You might even want to collect such .m3u files for archival / backup
        purposes.</p>
