Best internet radio


I am looking for a stand-alone internet radio that connects to my LinkSys wireless router. Has anyone found a great sounding unit.
Thank you.

Internet radio.. or satellite radio (like Sirius). I know nothing about satellite radio, but iTunes has internet radio stations.

I like "Radio Paradise" myself. I think the best you can get is 128 kbps streams. I use an Airport Express linked to my router via client mode (it's a Linksys).

Hope this helps.
Why don't you just get an Airport Express and attach it to some powered speakers (like AudioEngines.. or whatever) and stream from your computer. It would be like $400 tops, and if you wanted you could always get an inexpensive DAC for under a couple of hundred later to improve the sound.

Use iTunes.

It would sound a lot better and likely cheaper than a stand-alone internet "radio", if they even make them.
I see your point.

Although I pretty much leave my laptop, or my desktop when I had one, on 24/7. And with iTunes, they are already preset and categorized by genre so there are 100s of stations for all tastes. So with literally 3 taps of my trackpad, I'm rocking.

I wouldn't even know where to start looking for web addresses of internet stations...

Check out Radio Paradise though... it's in the eclectic section.. or .com.

...if you can't find a stand alone player, you have options.
