Ricky:
Using both Firefox and Microsoft Edge, I find that radiobox.com is not a
working website. When you click on it, what comes up is a blank page.
However, using Startsearch, I did find radiobox.io which is a working
website of radio streams that calls itself Radiobox. Could this be the site
linked to your blind shell software? If so, a check of the site reveals no
place where new stations can be added, changed, or deleted. I consider it to
be a lousy radio site for this reason and for all of the links (countries
and languages) that come up at the top of each page before you actually see
the station you're looking for. This site also has (though it says it does)
no edit box where you can search for individual stations by typing them in;
the only way to find individual radio stations is to click on the individual
countries, click on the genre you wish to look under, and then click next
page, next page, etc. until you find the station you're looking for. Also,
outside of the trending stations, the button to play individual stations is
not marked for screenreaders on the website, though it is there (I found it
through trial-and-error).
Frankly, I think a much better site is vtuner.com which is very easily
searchable using screenreading software, and it is also very easy to send
station additions and changes to them. Unfortunately, that site (as far as I
know) is not affiliated with the blind radio shell software of which you
speak. Good luck!

Hi list
Anybody use radiobox.com, the Blindshell Classic uses it with the built-in
internet radio, works well but is it different than onlineradiobox.com and
can it be that it doesn't have stations that, say, Tunein has, not to
compare but I'm not sure how to help the manufacturers of the Blindshell
Classic add stations that they seem unable to, example, MLB Radio and MLS
Radio.
Thanks.
