Guest megsfolks Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I live in an area where local FM radio coverage stinks, but interestingly enough we have both Cable and DSL internet...funny how that statement in-of-itself highlights the changes that the internet has driven.... Anyway, I want to start streaming Internet Radio into my system. Wireless is preferred. What do you use? I've seen some of the devices such as AppleTV and a couple of the internet appliances like the Aluratek AIREC01F and the Sangean WFT-1 that look interesting. I'm wondering if there are some clever solutions that I may be overlooking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillD 239 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I use a Squeezebox. Lots of FM radio stations you can get on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillD 239 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Well, the Squeezeboxes I have aren't even available anymore. They were built by Slim Devices that was bought by Logitech. The ones I have don't have a color screen. I like to think I got mine before Logitech had a chance to screw it up (but the Transporter is still available, which is the top of the line "audiophile" component). IIRC, my Squeezeboxes cost about $120 apiece. Back when I got mine (two years ago at Christmas), they were giving away a Squeezebox if you bought a Transporter. The closest equivalent in todays lineup is the "touch". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest megsfolks Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I reviewed the soon to be released Touch. That looks like a pretty nice little rig. eBay sure shows that the used Squeezebox market is solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdyman 5 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I have been using Denon ASD-3n. I think Denon makes Wireless version now. It can connect to ethernet and play audio and video and movie(??) files. I play music while it is displaying family pitures on TV. All of my music, photo & movies are stored on DLNA compatable network hard drive. I can play internet radio or network stored music and pictures on it. If you have Deonon receiver, you can control ASD-3n from your reciever.It is pretty cool thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nholmes1 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 My favorite currently is from Sonos, the ZP90 will work simply as a source in your system, supports WAV. FLAAC and a few other fromats local, has Sirius and Rhaposdy for pay services, and best off all they have Pandora, Last.FM and a full catagory of streaming internet stations which you can search and even have a local stations option. Prices start at 349-599. Once you plug one unit up to your high speed internet it will create a wireless network for the sonos players and allow you to wirelessly add players throughout the home.
