Best internet radio

LEt us know how the Sangean works out if you get it.

I might add one also sometime.

This looks exactly what I am looking for:
Sangean WFR-1 WIFI Internet Radio

THANK YOU!!!!

Perhaps this is what you're looking for. I have absolutely no experience with it, but it has two glowing reviews on Amazon, plus one review from an unhappy customer who seemed to have problems with the Wi-Fi set up.

I'm a little bit worried about the reading comprehension of some of our fellow 'Goners, though:

Dcaudio: I am looking for a stand-alone internet radio that connects to my LinkSys wireless router.

Clueless 'Goner #1: You could get a nice vinyl set-up with an SET and a full-range driver.

Clueless 'Goner #2: How about a used piano? If you don't know how to play, you could always take lessons.

Clueless 'Goner #3: There's no substitute for live music. You should spend your money on concert tickets.

Good luck with your quest!

I have a small Sangean WR-1 mono am/fm table radio that has very good sound. I think they have a WiFi Internet radio version as well.

I also have a Roku Soundbridge that I use as a digital wifi source for internet radio and in-house music server on my system. Roku has a similar wifi internet table radio as well, but I have never heard it so I cannot vouch for the sound quality.

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.

I am not looking for turning on the computer, waiting for Windows to boot, Open ITunes or find a web site and select the radio station.
I am looking for device that you turn a knob. Like a radio. Type in the web address of favorite web station. Connect through my cable or DSL modem/router.
There is Skype phone device - that connects through home router.
There must be a similar radio.

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.

Perhaps the Slim Devices Duet would meet your needs.

Hey guys...I think that he is looking for a piece of hardware ! Not a website .

Try shoutcast com. The best i have found that has downloads for a variety of stations, some at 320 and 256 kbps.
Also wksu org for folk and classical is excellent.

doing a search using Google, here are a few to check out :

Thanks. Mean internet. Basically having a radio where you enter the internet address and listen to internet stations. Like the short wave with better sound quality. Thanks

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.
