I've actually been playing with a new Amazon Echo and it's a close
replacement for a squeezebox if you are willing to put your music in
their cloud. It will play both Tunein and Iheart Radio stations, Amazon
Music, etc. The only current difficiency for me is there is no XM yet,
but, they are adding new features regularly. It's in beta and they are
soliciting input. They've responded positively for suggestions.

I recommend this. it's really got great sound and does much more than
any alternatives. I currently have 5 squezeboxes in rooms throughout my
apartment. I really like the responsiveness of the echo and well as the
voice activation. It's the best interface I've ever used. I also find
myself using it for music and radio more the boxes at this point.
