Ladies and Gentlemen,

I'm sending this as a Special Notice since we haven't had any posts in this
group in a
very long time and I'm going to kick start this group again.

Welcome to the Internet Radio Lovers Discussion Group. Why I haven't engaged in
this
group in so long I don't know. Part of it has to do with wanting to post only
the best
information in this group. I'm such a perfectionist that I end up looking for
better and
better topics/information and, as a result, never end up posting anything at all
here.
Well, that's about to change.

Some new folks have recently joined this discussion: I welcome you.  I want to
remind
everyone, new and old, that spam isn't tolerated in this group.  Signatures are,
however, so you may include a link to your website/project in your signature.

Now, let's begin 2004's discussion of Internet radio. I'm going to plunge right
in and
tell you about a new device that was just unveiled at the 2004 Consumer
Electronics
Show in Las Vegas, NV. It's called the iAPlayer, by a company  called iMuse
Electronics
( http://www.imuse.us/ ), and it apparently allows you to "tune in" to thousands
of
Internet radio stations. It retails for $395--here's a link to a news story
covering the
device's release:

I'm still looking for a portable to be released, so if you know about one, let
me know!
(Not that I would be able to afford it yet.)
