I want one of these
I was reading the Guardian this morning and came Victor Keagan was talking about Internet radio and mentioned the wifi radio.
It’s a really interesting idea. A radio that uses your broadband connection to stream Internet radio. I listen to a lot of Internet Radio and hate the fact I have to have my PC on to listen - meaning I can’t listen away from a computer. Victor Keagan mentioned he had little problems with network connectivity - but found it difficult to search out new stations. At £199 it’s pretty reasonable, especially as it can also stream MP3s from another computer on the network meaning you can listen to your music stored on the PC anywhere in the house.
Like you I listen to a load of internet radio- the BBC’s listen again archive has been a god send.
Instead of buying this internet radio (you have too many toys anyway) chuck another £200 at the problem, buy a laptop, hook up to a wireless network and Bobs Your Uncle- you’ve got mobile access to internet radio in every room. Admittedly not as elegant a solution as this little box but then again you can’t play Doom on a wifi radio can you.

That’s a good idea GRL. Having to boot-up a computer everytime I want to listen to the radio would take a bit of time mind but you’re right having a laptop would be more flexible.
