Really cool--I'm really glad I check RAIN yesterday! A "true" Internet
radio--okay, let's just say a "standalone" one--has always been out of
my financial reach, so this DIY component may be just the ticket for
me.

So how's that MYLO? Honestly, I had to run a quick Google search to
find out what a MYLO is. Now I remember the device...and where is
"here" (as in, where you're getting good WiFi)?

Harold,

This is cool and very tempting for an electronics junkie like me. I will pass
this along to a couple of my friends.

BTW, I`m sending this from my MYLO. There is WiFi everywhere here. Very
encoreging.

Hi Harold and all,

I have several devices I use to listen to Internet Radio.

The one I really like is the Roku M1000. This unit requires an
external amplifier. I have one hooked to my stereo and one in the
kitchen hooked to a set of Altec Lansing amplified computer
speakers. They come with a bunch of preset stations but you can
program your own favorites over your network using units built in
web page. You can also set other parameters of the unit from there.
There is a piece of software available called the Roku Radio
Snooper. You run it while listening to the Internet station you want
to program using your computer. It will tell you what the URL of the
stream is, if it's compatable with the Roku and it will upload it to
the preset of your choice in the Roku. You can also set up a
computer with iTunes as a music server. The Roku works both wired
and wireless.

Another unit I have is the Linksys WMLS11B. It's similar to the Roku
but has it's own set of amplified speakers. It comes with software
to set it up. Again you can program you favorite stations in it
using the software and it comes with some stations programmed in the
presets already. And you can set up a computer as a music server
using MusicMatch. The unit is both wired and wireless. I had trouble
setting up the wireless although a friend of mine had no trouble at
all. I have mine wired to my network snd use it in my station to
confirm that my stream is working correctly. I think it's a
discountinued unit but if you look around you may find one cheap.
And Linksys still supports it.

A cute little unit I have in my bedroom is the Chumby. Their website
is:

http://www.chumby.com

This unit has a little LCD touch screen on the front and you can use
it to display a whole host of things via the Internet. For example I
have mine switching between several clock displays, the local
weather from the Weather Channel, some New York City camera views
and it also cycles through the bridge cameras on all the Princess
cruise ships. You activate and set up the unit using their web
site.  This is where you can select from hundreds of "widgets" to
control what you want to display on the screen. I think you can even
look at ebay or David Lettermans last monologue. It has a whole
bunch of Internet radio presets including SHOUTcast stations but you
can also add your own streams using the touch screen. There's a
little, small set of stereo speakers in the rear but you can plug in
a set of headphones if you want. Seeing this unit is constantly
getting information over the Internet I keep it by my bedside so I
can see if my router locks up overnight, something that would take
my Internet station down. If I wake up and see my Chumby stuck on
it's internal clock then I know I have a problem. Visit their web
site because there's more information than I have time to type here.

Something that I just got that I'm playing with is the Sony MYLO Com
2. It's the size of a cell phone and has it's own little pull out
keybaord which I find a little hard to use, but that may be me. The
unit works with WiFi and plugs in to the USB port of a computer for
data transfer. It's an MP3 player, it takes still pictures, it takes
video, surfs the web and a bunch of things. I just started playing
with it so I can't tell you how well everything works. There's a
little internal speaker or you can use headphones or the earbuds
they provide. The main reason I got it is because it plays SHOUTcast
radio stations and I'm sure if you try you can get other streams as
well. My ISP has now put WiFi access points all over Long Island.
There are lot of holes in the system but it's to the point that in
some areas I've been able to surf the web from a moving car or
listen to my Internet station. I find it very cool to be walking
around somewhere and still be able to listen to my Internet station.
This means Internet Radio now has the means to begin competing with
terrestrial radio, at least around here.

So I think the situation is a lot better than it was. I think if you
search you'll find there are a lot more units available now to
listen to Internet Radio with.

My question is do the receivers that use the Reciva system let you
program your own streams yourself or do you have to "suggest" the
stream to Reciva and then they add it to the list. I've been staying
away from products that use the Recieva system for that reason. I
want to be able to "do my own thing".

Hello everyone,

Long time no post, yet again. So here's my (somewhat) annual 'Net radio device
survey: What
devices are you using to listen to your favorite 'Net radio stations? Please
mention any
software and/or services that are required to enable your device. For example,
there's this
C.Crane WiFi Radio I just heard about tonight:

http://www.ccrane.com/radios/wifi-radios/cc-wifi-radio.aspx

which appears to have some kind of relationship with a service called Reciva:

https://www.reciva.com

Maybe Reciva is the service that the C. Crane WiFi Radio connects to in order to
"tune in" 'Net
audio streams, I don't know.

So what devices do you know about? Please tell me the situation has gotten
better this past
year or so...

Hey everyone,

SpamGuard has now been enabled for this group. Though we don't get a ton of
spam, I don't
like for us to receive even one or two a month. Sometimes that approaches the
number of
posts we have here, period! (Okay, I may be exaggerating a bit, but still...)

your moderator,
harold

Evan, this may sound interesting to some of us, but please consider: How does
this relate
to Internet radio loving? Please be considerate of this group's spam-less
policy.

I understand your station's programming regards wrestling, and your membership
is
welcome, but please don't fill our group's message boards with blatant
advertising. At
least demonstrate how this ties in with your station's programming! (This could
be a good
starting-point for a conversation about 'Net radio marketing or something
similar.)

Here Is the newest station to hit the airwaves Phoenix Rising Radio
Phoenixliveradio.com

It looks like it's that time of year again, with Pandora trying to
stay alive despite the RIAA's efforts to shut them down. Here's a blog
post which displays Pandora.com's latest message to its fans:

http://www.apemyp.com/?p=160

I have to admit, Pandora is the *only* 'Net radio station I've
listened to lately; I listen to my iPod and portable cassette Walkman
more now than ever. I need to dig up some new 'Net radio stations:
Anyone have a suggestion? If you pitch your own, please also mention
one or two that's not associated with you or your station; I'd like to
hear about some 'Net radio I'm not already familiar with.

Thanks,
Harold

I hear you. Need anyone say more.

Thanks Harley, Mike, Stella and Jerry for your feedback, and to
anyone who took the time to read these posts. I agree with most of
your opinions: particularly, Jerry's view that 'Net radio is "about
to turn a corner". Internet radio has long been turning that corner,
and sometimes it seems like that corner is too wide. I mean, in some
ways I would've thought 'Net radio would've been farther along by
now -- for example, I believe I had expected mobile 'Net radio would
be more ubiquitous by 2008. Yet 'Net radio is always changing and
(depending on your perspective) evolving, and new ways of consuming
and broadcasting audio are constantly being developed.

I still don't know exactly how we are going forward with this group,
but I've joined a new Yahoo!Groups Power User Group to get some ideas
on how to make this group more active and enjoyable. Through that
group I've discovered the People Map, which I've now added to our
group's profile. (Click the Home link to access the map.) Some folks,
myself included, like to know where other group members are hailing
from. So check it out -- and don't forget to add yourself to the map!
