Re: VRS & Internet Radio

[Dane Trethowan]

Well firstly are you sure your Roberts radio is compatible with the 
Undok App?


Roberts is essentially Sangean so - if the radio is compatible with the 
Undok App - then all should be fine.


Make sure that the Radio and your IOS or Android device - the device 
running Undok - are on the same network.


We don't see too many Roberts radios out here in Australia, I did own a 
couple, my favorite being the Roberts Ecologic 4.

I believe we have or had one list member who was using a Sangean product and
I think he was in the United Kingdom but wehre you are really shouldn't be
an issue here.

One of Sangean's biggest markets is Europe and Europe use either DAB or
DAB+ which the Internet radio sets sold in Australia handle so I most
likely could answer any questions you have about these radio sets.

There's at least one model of Sangean I know of which is marketed in the
U.S. and that's the WRF28 and there may be more.

The crucial thing is here to make sure that - whatever Sangean radio you
buy - is compatible with the Undok or iSangean App for IOS or Android.

Hi!

I'm not a Victor Reader Stream user and I don't use my iPhone much for
Internet radio however I believe I use a far better solution than a Victor
Reader Stream will ever be and an iPhone is part of this - or indeed an
Android phone if you'd prefer -, the phone acts as the remote control for

my

Sangean Internet radios and tuners here.

Yes, variations of these are available in America.

For Australia and Europe Sangean offer Multi Band multi function Internet
radios and - in Australia at least - there are four models to choose from,
two portable units, a tabletop music system and a Hi-Fi tuner so choose

the

one that reflects your needs.

In The U.S., Sangean have the WRF28 or WRF28, as far as I know those two
units are battery portable sets.

The App for Android/iPhone is very easy to use and even mirrors the

display

of the radio.

All Sangean models now come with Spotify Connect and the App itself has

been

updated so the user can stream an iTunes library from the phone itself to
the radio.

Naturally there are a lot more details I could give about these radios and
their setups and I really should do another Podcast on the whole subject,

I

did one 3 years ago I think it was but since then the whole thing has gone
ahead in leaps and bounds.

Where do we think the technology in the VRS sits

Winamp and deleting files directly from it?

[Gerardo Corripio]

 HI listers
Does Winamp have the ability to when done listening to a file, instead 
of having to go via Windows Explorer to where the file is located at and 
delete it that way, does Winamp have some sort of way to delete the file 
directly, so that it too gets deleted from its original location? Thanks 
for info.

I've just learned that the first generation Victor Reader Stream will handle
SDXC cards, you just need to format them via the menus no different than the
second gen. sounds  like good times.
I asked this on the VRStream list, subscribe information below.

There's no such thing as a perfect SD card. The point? Is that there will be
lemons so to speak regardless of the manufacturer, name etc. the second gen
Victor will handle any SDXC card thrown at it regarding capacity. The
highest I've heard used to date is the 512GB PNY SDXC which last I checked
was at $190.99. there are a decent amount though using the 256GB SDXC PNY
card as well. I myself am only using a 128GB card and haven't filled that up
yet, but I am not one who hangs on to books etc. like most seem to.
So the size is entirely up to your individual budget or lack there of. I
myself would go with the PNY cards and choose whatever size fitting your
comfort level with the cost. Amazon is a great place to go and
look/purchase.

Hello,

 

I'm looking to purchase a large capacity card to store a large quantity of
OTR shows encoded in MP3 format on. I'm sick of swapping 64 GB cards for
listening to various genres saved on several SD cards. Just want one big boy
card to put the majority of them on.

 

What is the largest capacity SD card the Victory Reader Stream can handle?
Also what is the best brand to buy that will last the longest period of
time?

 

Thanks for any recommendations.
