more on internet radio, moving into the “hifi” arena… [Tim Strafford-Taylor]. from The Guardian Is your hi-fi ready for internet radio? LIke the look of the Streamium, though not “Philips is endorsing only one router….. “ and “doesn’t actually let you type in a station’s web address (although it may offer this in the future). Instead, it offers a “walled garden” of stations accessed easily via the Streamium’s jog-dial control.” so no wfmu then (yet)… Now the Turtle Beach hi-fi separate looks more like it, inc. “…can be factored into an 802.11 network with internet radio stations streamed wirelessly to a hi-fi. “ and “…listen to any radio station by keying in its URL”… [Ecademy: user blogs]
Maybe I’m missing something, but I achieve the same thing with a pensioned off PC, the free version of Real Player and a £7 interconnect – I joke it’s my £1000 radio, but it’s all gear I had already, apart from the interconnect. Then I can choose if I want to subscribe to some services.
