Hello Ionut,

The Penbex devices are not able to play AAC streams.
Besides that, the database is a community effort. This means that it is as good as the changes that the users put in it. I already pay for the penbex domain and constructed a replacement database/web interface so that these old machines stay alive. I do update streams all the time but there is only so much spare time to keep things going. So you have to participate a bit yourself as well ![]() ![]()
I just installed the firmware on a Cobra CIR2000e EU version and worked perfectly. Thank you for modifying the firmware and putting so much effort into this.
However I wanted to ask if somebody still checks the online radios database, as I found allot of broken ones. I'm from Romania and once I've entered the Romanian folder, found more than 15 offline or error processing. I could barely find 2 of 20 that finally worked and broadcasts. thank you once again ,Ionut ![]()

Now I read on the forum that without an old firmware there are 0 chance it can be fixed. Should I have no hope? How can I get old firmware from Fenda product? I have sold hundreds of pieces and I would like to give my customers some solution. Could I send the product to you? Can you find solution with product in your hands?

Today I updated my Odys MusicBox from 2.0.0.18 to 2.0.0.23. It now works again. The menus and the settings are much better than before.
It took me a while to get it installed, here are some tips in case someone else also has to update:
Thanks to all others with tips and for the updated firmware! ![]()
If you downloaded the firmware from our server and installed that, you should have the Worldstations working again...

Hello william and other users,
I have an ODYS Musicbox which has lost its stations. I was given your link and the upgrade ODYS-2.0.0.23.zip from AXDIA in Germany but the software, although follwing the instructions has not helped! I would be grateful for any help and advice. The version data seems to be the same as other users quoted ( eg Debbie) OS: ODYS-2.0.0.23 alpha build 01/13/11-1131 SW: 20080410.0.1.99uP Ver: 0x25 BOOT: 070502-06 yours desperately, John ![]() ![]()

To clarify: if gracenote is no longer working, it will not be fixed in a future firmware release. (Last Edited by penbex on December 2, 2014, 8:56 am) ![]()
Dear William/PENBEX!
Thanks a lot for your quick answer; I as well called the company DNT (seller of the IPmicro) which told me the same: The gracenote-feature is directly implemented in the original firmware because of licence- and contract reasons... It's a pity, but "what the heck". Anyway, after I installed the apropriate firmwares both our devices work properly in terms of internetradio functionability... Maybe one day somebody finds a way to bring gracenote back to life under the limit of "a years work", but why isn't it possible to "read out" the original firmware and just modify the "identification code" of the requesting servers (which then should be those of listenlife.nl maybe)? Probably you then as well would have to pay licence fees, and if you do not get enough donations by users it is a problem. Did you think about an easier way to connect to gracenote, and then collect the licence money by donations or somehow else? However, many thanx for your help! Elmo ![]() ![]() ![]()

Gracenote is not working. It has been broken for a long time iirc it was already broken in some firmwares before the end of Penbex (which was in 2011) and they did not bother to fix it. ~William

Hi there, I know, this very question about the gracenote function is "out-of-topic", but is there any other threat which answers it? I as well would like to use the gracenote information while playing audio CDs, and apparently it really does not work... Is there a way to get the gracenote-informations with your firmware? I use a Watson 1790, and my girlfried uses a IPmico, which both we bought on Ebay two weeks ago. Would be very kind, if anybody nows anything about GRACENOT! Yours, Elmo

Hi William, when can we expect a firmware for Olympia 300? ![]()
For Watson you need to use the file KW-1004-2.0.0.23.zip If the file fails verification, there is only one reason it fails: This applies even if you have been able to use a larger stick in the poast with music on it. For music it is not so important if a bit inside the mp3 files is wrong..

Penbex - you are a GENIUS. Thank you. I was on the verge of wondering what on earth to do with a quite new Cobra cir2000e which suddenly had no internet radio function - the only reason we bought it! All sorted now, thanks to your brilliance. A donation to follow! Cheers.

I have 2 CIR 2000 A units and recently upgraded one of them. With upgrade can now get some Internet stations ( I am in the USA) but many still (most) when accessing return a 'station unavailable' message. Another issue is after upgrading the unit would occasionally show inverted or mirror image screen graphics. Turning off unit and turning it back on corrects this but I am puzzled as to why this is happening. The actual operation of the unit seems unaffected but before I upgrade the second of my units I wonder can you suggest what may be causing this? Thanks

Dear William,
once again you did a great job and helped preventing my DNT IPMicro from gradually turning into a black brick. I just flashed the new 2.0 tree firmware and it worked like a charm. I bought the device specifically for its iRadio feature and you helped restoring it after the end of Penbex. I just realized, that the Gracenote feature is gone. I guess this is not a bug of the firmware but also linked to the Penbex end, for you have to buy the Gracenote service for a company. Is there any way of replacing the Gracenote feature with something like freedb.org? Anyway....you just did great on the new firmware!!!!! Thanks a billion!!!!!! Stivo ![]()

The Centrios is exactly the same model (hardware wise) as the KW-1004, IPMicro, Goodmans and several others. ![]()
I think that I might be using the wrong firmware. For the longest time I thought I had the KW-1004 because it is a Centrios. Now on the back I see it is a Centrios Model 1315117. Should I try to change to the KW-1315117 software? Is there a way to do that? I appreciate the efforts, especially with the changing media sources.

I did the FW-update as recommended, actually two times, but every time I got something like "No service available". But then I thought I could test to switch the system-language to English (I used Swedish) and magically it worked. That may be strange, but that's the way it happened.
Now I have to help to find the invalid stations. I already found some, but it's not so easy to pinpoint them because of same or nearly same name for some addresses. Example: Deutschlandradio. Thank you "penbex" for your work! Now we can hope for a longer time using our devices. ![]() ![]()

If your Internet Radio used to work with the "Worldstation" service you have a Radio manufactured by Taiwanese company 'Penbex'. To determine what Penbex Radio you have a few things are important. Firmware update instructions: Upgrade firmware by using USB / SD/MMC 1. Get an accurate firmware version (please check your brand and model number and OS version from the information screen) 2. Copy the file [image.upg] to the root directory on an USB disk or SD/MMC card. 3. Insert the USB disk or SD/MMC card into the USB connector or SD/MMC slot. 4. Press [Setting] button, then scroll up/down to [Upgrade] and press [SELECT/OK] button. 5. Scroll up/down to [Yes] and then press the [SELECT/OK] button to upgrade. 6.Your Radio will restart automatically after finishing the upgrade process. 7. Your Radio must not be switched off and also do not press any function key during the upgrade procedure. NOTE: It strongly recommended to resetting all settings after the system is upgraded. (eg. perform a factory reset) --
