FreePlay's ever-useful FreeRadio (check out previous version here), the server-free Internet homebrew radio portal for the Sony PlayStation Portable, is finally updated to version 1.7 with several additions, including the support for custom plug-ins.

To make browsing easier for users, homebrew developer FreePlay made some changes on the portal in such a way that the web browser and bookmark links will open a new tab.

Check out the changelog below for more details:

• Added support for custom plugins. Included an example - a two-channel equalizer that displays beneath the 'stop' button. For an example of how plugins work, open X:radiopluginsequalize r.plugin in your favorite text editor.
• Plugins are self-contained JavaScript files, so if you're any good with that, you can easily make your own plugins. FreeRadio will automatically load any plugin files stored in the X:radioplugins folder with a filename ending in '.plugin'. The only requirements for a plugin are 'load' and 'start' functions and a variable named 'started'. The rest is up to you.
• Plugins are only loaded in the Shoutcast, Stream, and Playlist views; this is because rest either don't play audio or might not always look the same (since podcasts and RSS can use HTML).
• The web browser and bookmark links now open in a new tab, rather than the current one.
