Absolute Radio stopped broadcasting for international listeners, workaround?

[rmatosev]

Hi,
as in title, Absolute Radio is no more available outside of the UK. I
tried to connect through TuneIn and it worked on PC, but not on
Squeezebox Touch. For some reason Absolute works fine through Ipad app.
Since Absolute Radio is my favourite station, I would be extremely happy
if I could continue listening to it.
So, I am asking some good soul from the forum if there is a way to work
around this problem.
thanks!

It looks like a solution for PC, but how to use it on Squeezebox Touch?

Install the Radio.de app via the App Gallery at mysqueezebox.com. Then
open http://www.mysqueezebox.com/player/playerControl. Search in
Radio.de for Absolute Radio, play the Station and save it as a
Favorite.

Thanks, it worked. No Absolute Radio 00s, but I can live with that.
Note: Radio.de did not appear on AppGallery until I changed the Country
in Account Settings to Germany. It does not matter if you are not from
Germany (I am not). It warns you "We have detected that you are in a
different country than you have selected. You may not have access to
some music services." but you can disregard that.
Radio.de will appear in AppGallery list and then it's easy to do the
search and save the station to the Favorites.
Thanks again!

Its really annoying that Absolute Radio stops streaming for
international listeners. Some tricks working yet. But nobody knows if
Absolute Radio prohibit these alternatives in the future. For any
eventualities I don`t will update the current version of the iPhone
App.
