I stream internet radio stations through my computers. At home I use my
desktop computer. Away from home I can do it on my laptop, and I can
easily demonstrate it at the Clinic.

The advantage of streaming internet radio stations is that you have
literally hundreds to choose from. The disadvantage is that you need a
net connection, and occasionally you lose the connection. Depending on
the station you may disconnect once per hour or once every couple of
weeks. I usually stream KQAC (local), but I also frequently stream
Radio Classique (Paris), KUSC (Los Angeles), Swiss Classic (Bern), and
ABC Classic (Melbourne), and I have book marks in Rhythmbox for dozens
more. If I get disconnected it just takes a mouse click to reconnect.
