Hi Toby,

Thanks for the quick reply.  However, I promise that my Roku has no
server connection -- all it requires is a wireless connection to the
internet.  No computer is necessary at all unless you want to access
music stored on your hard drive.  For internet radio, nothing additional
is needed.  I wasn't required to sign up for Radio Roku in order to get
my radio up and running. 

I may be a little thick :) but I'm having trouble understanding why
there would need to be a server somewhere in order to play internet
radio -- I can stream the very same stations on my computer directly
from the radio station itself, so why is an intermediary such as
mysqueezebox.com needed for the radio to do so?  IOW, if it can access
mysqueezebox.com, why can't it access the radio station's stream, as
it's simply another url? 

I am probably excessively concerned, but, unfortunately, I didn't find
all the posts about the many problems with SB Radio until after my order
was on the way to me.  I'm trying to avoid getting stuck with an
expensive device that won't perform the function for which is was
purchased, so am a bit hesitant to fire it up without being pretty sure
it will work as planned. 

Cheers,
Susan
