When I launch ServeStream I see two tabs (for lack of a better word -- I'm not versed in the Android GUI terminology): "URLs" and "Browse". I know what "URLs" is for: the stream URLs that I add by pressing the "+" button go there, but what is the "Browse" tab for? I see that it has a refresh/reload button which is not present when I select "URLs", but pressing it doesn't seem to do anything.
Just curious.

Francis, good question. The ability to "browse" has been available in ServeStream since the first release. If you enter a URL that isn't a media stream the browse table will allow you to navigate the webpage by presenting a list of any links contained on that page. You can try it yourself by entering a webpage like "http://shoutcast.com". Although some people may never use this functionality there are others who find this useful. The reason I decided to designate a tab for it in the 0.6.0 release was so people (like myself) wouldn't have to re-open a "page" each time they went to a different screen in the application. I hope this makes sense.
