When I go to a radio station that broadcasts via web, is it possible with
Media Player 9 to save that station so I can easly go back to it at a later
date, similar to Favorites for Web sites

If the item's playing, you ought to be able to go
File -> Add to library -> Add currently playing playlist

I guess that would be updated - looking at the code for the MSN
playlist it seems to go up and down to their website a lot, so I guess
it syncs (though with 150k of code to plough through I'll leave that
to another day !)

But then how does one retrieve the URL later on?

If you've added the now playing link to your library, it should show
up under the Genre 'radio'. If nothing else works, you can sort by the
genre column in WMP to get the radio stations to the top of the list.
