Now the version 2.0 permit:
- Create a link logo,
- English and Portuguese Language,
- Fix blank space on the link and name stations.
This is exactly what I was looking for. very easy to set up and works like a charm.
I say "almost" perfect because IMHO just one minor addition would put the icing on the cake and that is the ability to stop the auto play when the page loads.
Any coders able to spot where in the files this can be done?... TIA.

Since I've been messing with the module, I'll post some help for you guys.
To add more fields for your stations (if 10 is not enough), do following :
Open :
mod_lcplayer.php - You will find it in your mod_lcplayer_v2.zip
Now here it says :
$station_count = 0;
for ( $i = 0; $i

Pros: Great module, does what it says in the easy way. Installation was a breeze.
Cons: Clearly needs some work because not all of us can edit XML/HTML. Check second oldest review for all bugs that need fixing.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: No option to fire it in popup, what is a great shame and makes it half useless! (player resets every time the page is reloaded/user navigate to other pages) :(

normally i dont leave comments ... this time i decided to comment this one. Why ?
1. Is a Portuguese Module
2. Do exactly what the developer say it do.
3. we only need to download, install and configure the options ( and that is needer obrigatory because he came pré-configurated)
For all that i only say congratulations and i wait for V3 !

OK, here's the scoop:
I installed the Extension. It went like a breeze.
What I really needed it for was not exactly what the Extension Author purposed it for ... but since I haven't much clues about PHP-From-Scratch sortta' thing, it was easy to modify the Extension so that it did fit my purposes.
I did not need to have the Extension to function as a radio/tv station list. Rather, I needed the Extension to behave as a component which would allow Users to select from a list of Audio/Visual Teaching titles (MP3's) which were being published by our Streaming Multimedia Server. So, instead of having a User choose between, say, Station A and Station B and so forth, it allows Users to choose between different Teaching titles.
The author obviously has English as a second language [possibly third :)] language and so his PHP Script shows this and the documentation is a bit scarce too. But, since it is distributed entirely free and it is fitting to our needs here alot better than other Extensions I have paid 25 dollars and upwards, I am not complaining.
If you are hosting a WebSite that is streaming a series of audio/visual media, then this will work perfectly for you. For instance: let's say a Church wishes to publish their audio/visual Sunday-after-Sunday ... well the DropDown Menu can say Sunday, Jan 19-2008 / Sunday, January 26-2008 and the User can choose which media event he wishes to connect to.
Anyways, you can use it of course for what the Extension author created it for ... connecting to Streaming Audio/Vusual sources on the Internet enabling Users to enjoy them on your WebSite. It is extremely easy to change the streaming media sources currently assigned to the Extension if you wish to listen/view to alternative Broadcasts/Stations.
I hope that is not too long a story ... but I wanted to be sure to explain everything properly so that Joomla people might easily find this will suit their needs.

Ok this idea is nice but has some problems.
First one: The list of Radio station is 10. I tried to eliminate some of the list and it just keep giving me the stations. I had to put NONE in the blanks to avoid the default stations.
Second one: The language is only in Portuguese. I was able to read it but it not has a language file so people can translate it. I can make a direct translation on the module core files but not everybody is capable of doing that.
Third one: all kind of radio modules needs a pop up window option because NO ONE is going to stay in the same website front page all the time. We want that visitors can browse all the website while they listen to music. Every time someone change the page the radio station resets to default.
If you fix the problem with the mandatory 10 radio stations and change it to optional amount and add the pop up option issue and add a language file (I can translate it to English and Spanish) this module will be great
