<title>What is internet radio?</title>
<p>Internet radio stations are similar to regular radio stations, allowing
an individual or an organization to stream music live over the internet.
Internet radio stations can be a simultaneous stream of a regular radio
station, amateurs broadcasting their own station, or commercial radio
stations that include live DJs and even commercials.</p>
</section>
<section id="addradio">
<title>Add radio station</title>
<p>Search for internet radio stations using your favourite search engine.
You can specify genres, channel frequencies, names of stations and other
details to narrow down your search. Many radio stations display either a
button or a link to listen to their stream. In most browsers, you can right
click on the link and choose <gui style="menuitem">Copy Link</gui>.</p>
<p>To add an internet radio station to <app>Banshee</app>, select
<gui>Radio</gui> in the menu on the left hand side of your window, then click
on <gui style="menuitem">Add Station</gui> on the upper right hand corner of

</item>
<item>

</item>
<item>
