Install/Usage
Installing the application
Copy the "radiow" directory to your SD under /apps
NOTE: DO NOT rename "radiow" directory.
Tested on PAL 3.2 - works fine.
Tested on NTSC 3.3v2 - works fine.
Playlists
Copy the playlist file to /apps/radiow/pls on your SD card
Saving playlists from WiiRadio will create a *.pls file under /apps/radiow/pls.
Pressing the + button will add the playing station to the playlists.
Internet Connection
Make sure you're getting a decent wireless connection on your Wii for better performance.
Free Space Requirements
WiiRadio requires free space on the SD card for caching. I'd recommend 10MB free.
