Thanks all! There are few things I need to do before starting with skinning, like cutting the long text strings to fit into divs automatically, depending on current size and stuff. As you can see the radio look is very poor atm.

Thanks!

That was the initial idea, apparently if you hang around on PSP forums for a bit you might realise that something as simple as putting few files on the Memory Stick is not something to laugh about for some. Plus it is easier to keep up to date.

Yes. It should really tell you if you don't have 3.80+ when you connect to
http://pspradio.co.uk on your psp. .pspr names are there just for convenience, so that if you go into COMMON folder, you know immediately what belongs to the radio and what doesn't. They are mostly javascript files anyway.
Ok, few functions that are might not be obvious.
Keyboard:
If you click on the textarea you will get psp native text input, quite useful for some fine editing but beware it has a limit, so you can only edit about 250(or a bit more?) last characters from your input with it.
In smart mode, 1 click on caps will switch caps mode for the next 1 letter then it is going back to small letters, 2 clicks - caps stay on until another click on it. It also adds space automatically after .,:?! and capitalises the 1st letter after .?! and new line.
Copy copies entire textarea into clipboard.
Player:
1 click mute - mutes it, double click mute - stops it, then another click after that on mute resumes playback.
The transition between stations should be seamless but when it becomes jerky you better off restarting the radio as it is on the way to crash. exit radio, launch rss channel (or any other app), then launch radio again, only this way it completely restarts it.
Sleep timer:
1 st click on set starts the timer with set parameter, another click with the same parameter brings confirm box with how much time left to activation and you can cancel the timer from there. Click with different parameter sets new timer.
Obviously the timer can only stop the playback, if I would know how to shut psp with it from the web browser I'd be very happy man
Tried it last night and it worked a treat, set it for 20 min, went to sleep and didn't even notice when it stopped. So keep the charger plugged in.
Shoutcast:
Random, plays random station, search with empty search box brings the list of random stations according to Max parameter. I limited the search to 100 stations max but I managed to load 320 with no problem but reckon it can easily get 500 without running out of memory, just takes too long to get and scrolling down 100 is already a pain. Oh yeah if you're wondering, it pulls xml from shoutcast and uses my custom built XML to JSON parser with no loops whatsoever, all pure one pass regexps, to parse it. It is also lightning fast in everything else.
Edit: forgot to mention the number in parentheses on shoutcast search results is the number of current listeners of the station. Unfortunately shoutcast xml does not have max allowed listeners for a station, so sometimes you may be out of luck connecting .
Custom station presets:
If you go to edit while something is playing you will have NOW PLAYING section from which you can assign a category and add the current station to presets. You can create own j-pop, RnB, anime categories this way.
Controls:
Not much, except that left shoulder button on PSP should take you to the main menu from anywhere.
Well that's about it for now, cheers!
KK's PSP Radio with SHOUTCAST search and play (beta)
Need your help guys, especially those with Slim PSP. There is new update core.pspr v1.13 that shuts down PSP completely when Sleep Timer runs out (I'm a happy man
