My Personal Getaway

First of all we need to get an list of radiostation. There is a lot of services that already collect this information for us. For me it’s :

http://www.moskva.fm/stations for Moscow radio station

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- edited with XMLSpy v2008 sp1 (http://www.altova.com) by LolitaRB (EMBRACE) -->
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
	<xs:element name="StationList">
		<xs:complexType>
			<xs:sequence>
				<xs:element name="Station" maxOccurs="unbounded">
					<xs:complexType>
						<xs:sequence>
							<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/>
							<xs:element name="url" type="xs:anyURI"/>
							<xs:element name="freq" type="xs:string"/>
						</xs:sequence>
					</xs:complexType>
				</xs:element>
			</xs:sequence>
		</xs:complexType>
	</xs:element>
</xs:schema>

In each url the number is station id. For example http://www.moskva.fm/play/4001/translation 4001 it’s ID

As result we gat an list of station in XML format next you can see part of it:

<StationList>
  <Station>
    <name>Relax FM</name>
    <url>http://www.moskva.fm/play/4014/translation</url>
    <freq>90.8 FM</freq>
  </Station>
  <Station>
    <name>DFM</name>
    <url>http://www.moskva.fm/play/2002/translation</url>
    <freq>101.2 FM</freq>
  </Station>
<!-- ... !-->
</StationList>

In the next post i’ll show you how to generate a class from xsd schema
