Now many station use AAC and not WMA so those radio became redundant. People bought big ticket smartTV for BBC and BBC changed technology and manufacturers couldn't implement it - so users lost "smart" functionality after about 2 years only.
The current trend is for radio station to use adaptive rate technology such as HLS , DASH and rather than plain streaming http so many current radio are becoming redundant. So when you buy your new radio make sure it can play HLS and ideally DASH streams - otherwise you'll have to replace in a few years. If you want a guaranteed long term solution - run your own server (e.g. Raspberry Pi) to convert new formats. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108126 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
