- select default media player and relevant bandwidth option and select save settings
- goto main shoutcast select a genre.
- click on the play button next to a station (making sure that it is an MP3 type).
- this will bring up a complete action dialog - select opera mobile.
- next you will get a download file dialog - select a folder in the dropdown and click save.
- once download complete, click on the open button and select New Age Player in the open file dialog.
- this will then open New Age Player, and add the station info to the existing presets list.
Note that you may see duplicate station names but this is because some stations broadcast off multiple urls, and they list them all in the .pls, because they have a max number of listeners per url.
Should also work with the following sites as they provide .pls files (but must do settings on shoutcast first)

If you set a one-off alarm for 08:00 and the time is 14:00 then it will go off immediately. Best solution is to set a daily alarm with that time, then it will go off the day after at that time. Then if you don't want it to repeat each day, then click on the cancel daily alarm menu option. Also alarms will be cleared if the phone is turned off and rebooted.
