Internet Radio

The Stream Magic based Internet Radio service brings thousands of internet radio

stations to you. The sheer choice available on the internet allows you to nd new

music, listen to stations in your native language (or perhaps if you are learning

another one), from your home town or by your Genre of choice.

It has to be said that the audio quality of internet radio varies greatly dependant

on the bitrate and compression technology used by the broadcaster, but the choice

more than makes up for this. Internet Radio allows you to explore and nd new

music from all over the world.

Note: As an 'aggregator' service we are simply organising the browsing and

connection process for these stations so that you don't have to manually search for

them or type in any URLs (web links) etc to access them. Whilst we regularly check

the stations to make sure they are still transmitting reliably and in reasonable

quality we are not responsible for their content in any way.

As well as the thousands of stations we offer if you want to listen to a particular

station that is not included in our service you can add it via the Stream Magic

website at www.stream-magic.com, see later section. You can also visit the www.

stream-magic.com website and put in a request suggesting new stations for us to

add to the service. We welcome your feedback.

It is not necessary to register your Minx Xi to use the free Stream Magic Internet

Radio service but by registering you will be able to edit settings on your Minx Xi

via the website, manage your presets, set up new 3rd party Streaming Services

and more.

How to use Internet Radio

Press and hold the button to return to the top-level menu.

Select Internet Radio from the list using the rotary dial then press the rotary dial to

select it. The Minx Xi displays the following submenus.

Internet Radio

Location

Genre

You can now turn the rotary dial to choose from Location, Genre or Search.

Location – Enables you to choose from the stations in any of the countries which

you choose from a list.

Genre – Enables you to choose radio stations according to their declared content,

for example Classic Rock, Sport, News, etc.

Search – Enables you to search for a station you know the name of. Enter the full

name or rst part of the name for your desired station. The Minx Xi will bring up a

list of all stations that contain a word that starts with your search term.

Note: Although we check the stations for continuity of service, some radio stations

do not broadcast 24 hours per day, and some stations may not always be on-line.

Registering your Minx Xi with the Stream Magic website

To access extra features on your Minx Xi such as linking premium streaming

services to your Minx Xi, adding non-Stream Magic internet radio stations or simply

editing, copying, re-ordering or deleting presets rst you will need to set up a free

account with Stream Magic.

Open www.stream-magic.com from an Internet browser. Click on the 'Register' link

and follow the on-screen instructions to set up an account and to link your Minx Xi

to this new account by entering your Minx Xis seven digit registration code, which

can be found in the 'Settings > Register' menu of the Minx Xi itself.

This is a unique key code generated by the unit during the registration process.

Note: The key lasts for about 10 minutes, if you don't use it in that time you will

need to exit and re-enter this menu to get a new key.

Your Minx Xi is now registered and you can use the website to manage your presets,

Podcasts and more. You can also suggest new stations to us, setup 3rd party

Streaming Services and view information from us on new products.

After creating and logging into your new account, you can now add, remove or re-

order presets on your Minx Xi from the 'Presets' tab.

There is also an enhanced internet radio station search facility, allowing you to

search for stations by minimum bit rate, etc and also the facility to add non-Stream

Magic internet radio stations as presets if you know the station's URL.

To add further Stream Magic products to your existing Stream Magic account

(perhaps you want a second or third Stream Magic in a different room) then this

can be done by accessing the 'Players' tab in Stream Magic and clicking on the

'Add a player' link.

You can then choose to copy all or some of the existing presets from your current

Stream Magic to the new one.

Note: You can register as many products as you like and manage the presets etc.

across several products which could be in different parts of the world all seamlessly

from your Stream Magic website.

Streaming Services

The Minx Xi supports a range of streaming services from other suppliers that often

have an element of interaction with the user. The Minx Xi displays the following

submenus.

Streaming Services

BBC iPlayer Radio

Etc.

Note: The services available vary depending on your geographical location.

Because Streaming Services generally allow the user some choice over the content

they listen to they are licensed differently to iRadio by the music companies and

often each service only has arrangements is certain countries.

A subscription fee service might be applicable.

Examples of such services are Pandora, Rhapsody, Live365, SIRIUS/XM,

Mp3Tunes and others.

When you enter this menu the ones that are available to you in your country will be

shown. Those that are free to use or have a free to use version will work 'straight

out of the box' Others will guide you to the relevant sign up page, should you so

wish.

For more details on what these services offer, please go to our www.stream-magic.

com website, links to each service can also be found here.

Also via the website you can prevent services appearing in this menu that you do

not wish to sign up to.

I have been using the Cambridge Audio Minx Xi for a few years now. The most recent firmware update has been done successfully. Now I am having issues with song display on the radio stations I am using. The designated radio stations are showing in the display screen, however, a blank screen where the song playing should show. Any suggestions would be most helpful? Thanks.
