I have one of these.  I use it as a bedroom alarm clock.  I listen to
BBC world service or Radio Paradise when I wake up.  It plays all the
BBC stations via Tunein radio.  I think Tunein transcodes the streams to
mp3, BBC stations have a delay before they start playing.  The radio app
is a little annoying,  you have to start Tunein radio, then select
presets, then scroll to the station you want to hear, and scrolling does
not work that well since it has a resistive touch screen.  It is
reliable though.

I have a squeezebox touch, not a squeezebox radio, but I wish the Archos
had presets.

I guess if I was to pick an internet radio, I would pas on the
Squeezebox, since the future of Mysqueezbox is in doubt.  I would pick
the Archos, although it is a little too difficult to use. I may also
look at the Sangean Internet radio, lloks like a nice unit, but I do not
know if it can play BBC.
