Trio Questions,Shoutcast stations move...any idea

I finally got Trio, Jreceiver and all working 2 weeks ago and love it all... Even set up a separate computer laying around as a dedicated server. Trio is great with the Jreceiver stuff. I know in the XML configuration that there's an alarm option... HOW does that work? I mean, how do you turn it on/off and how do you set the time for the alarm?

Also, does anyone have a solution to the stations in shoutcast always changing the playlist number? For example, one of the stations I like, Club 977, might be "1067" today and "239" tomorrow... so I'm constantly having to go in and change the number... kind of a pain... anyone have a solution or is constant editing the solution?

Well, funny you should ask that...I was just going to post a tip on here about that problem. The solution is to click on the name of the station in the Shoutcast list to go to the station's own website. Then (usually) there are links to play the streams there -- however, you'll notice those links point directly to a .pls file hosted by the station. (For example, http://club997.com/CLUB977HI.pls) Those files generally don't move around. Use that URL instead of the one at shoutcast.com and you should be set.

Has anyone found a direct link like this for Virgin Radio? The site brings up their own player

http://64.236.34.141:80/stream/1031 appears to be the most reliable stream from Virgin (atleast using Winamp), the Virgin PLS is attached.
