When I am working at home (which is most of the time at the moment), I listen to the radio at least 6 hours a day.
I want to listen to the radio via my Squeezeboxes, otherwise I'd have to have a radio sat next to each of my 3 Squeezeboxes, which would be very silly. In theory I could listen to an Internet stream. 96kb/s x 6 hours = 1 GB per day That amount to about 20GB a month, but unfortunately my day time limit for the month is 8GB. Every 1GB over the limit I have to pay extra. So Internet radio is a non starter. However I don't want Logitech to put an FM tuner into any of their players, that would be far to inflexible and hard for them to get one that actually had good quality. What I think they should have done instead was add an analogue audio in to the Touch. The Touch could then have sampled the audio in and streamed it to the other players, like Sonos do. As I understand it, in theory, someone could plug a device into the USB on the Touch to do the sampling and write some code for the Touch to stream it to the other players. It is just a shame they didn't just add a pair of phono (RCA) plugs and a ADC. My solution for the moment is a DAB radio plugged into my servers audio in, with the wavin plugin. That works well enough, but it would have been even better if it was a built in feature to the Touch. -- andynormancx Yes, it will. Yes, all of them. Yes, SoftSqueeze as well. What ?
