Why do you feel these implementations are poor? I have a poor impression of Roku (and without support for Real Audio, what's the point of an Internet radio standalone device?) but I've heard good things about the Acoustic Energy unit. In particular, it appears to me that the Acoustic Energy device has several advantages (as an Internet radio device): (1) It already has a pre-compiled, online, continually updated list of Internet radio stations (not just live365 and radioIO); (2) It doesn't require a server program such as Slim server (of course we can use SqueezeNetwork, but that doesn't allow us to receive AlienBBC); and (3) It has minimal setup requirements -- especially compared to the double installation of SlimServer and AlienBBC In the end, I don't feel the advantages of the Acoustic Energy device outweigh the advantages of the Squeezebox. Nonetheless, I do wish that SqueezeNetwork also had a pre-compiled list of Internet radio stations. -- tygar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tygar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28934 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
