Does anyone here use an internet radio?
I've been listening to radio stations using my computers for a long time but as wifi internet radios now seem pretty widespread I'd like to buy a standalone unit so that I can use it over my wireless network and not need the PC to be switched on.
I've been researching the various types available and it's very confusing! The prices vary widely and there seems to be an issue with most of them.
Quite a few don't seem to stream Real Audio and many don't display the meta data, so no artist or song info. That defeats the object for me because the main reason I like internet radio is to discover new music of all kinds.
So any recommendations welcome! I'm trying to keep my budget at around 120.00.
