Drag'n'drop

+
+
+

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.

+

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 understand direct + playlist URLs or literal M3U/PLS payloads even.

+
+
+

Importing

+
+

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.

+

Take note that Streamtuner2 is not intended as playlist manager + though. It will only accept radio streaming lists and discard + local MP3/Ogg files.

+

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 (F5) all custom + entries are usually discarded.

+
+
+
+

Export format configuration

+
+

Use F12 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.

+

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.
