Spot on with your new Internet radio list, Richard, as I just happened to purchase my first WiFi radio yesterday afternoon -- the Logitech Squeezebox Boom. Very impressed with it, so far!
Also, with the Squeezbox and my other recent acquisition of the sensational iPod Touch and being able to stream a huge selection of audio/video media, archives, and podcasts, I am now even contemplating selling off my "old school" radios (e.g., ICF-2010, SW7600G, and RF-2200). This will be hard for me to do, as I have many good memories using these analog devices over the years, but time moves on... ```````````````````````````` John M.

If you can access Pandora's online streaming music discovery service where you live, and you own a CC Wifi radio, you can now add your Pandora account settings to your CC Wifi radio. You'll need to upgrade the firmware on the WiFi radio, then log into the Reciva website and update the "My Radios" link, even if you aren't making a change to the radio. Apparently that step is needed for Reciva to recognize that you've upgraded the firmware. Then you should see a link within "My Stuff" called "My Pandora"; you can then enter your Pandora ID and password, and all your Pandora channels will be available on your WiFi radio. Bandwidth for Pandora is only 64k mpbs, but the audio quality seemed decent for me. It's also worth noting that folks listening to Pandora for more than 40 hours/month will be asked to pay 99 cents to continue to listen that month once their listening hours exceed 40. This is a result of the recent SoundExchange copyright deal with web radio providers; see http://mashable.com/2009/07/07/internet-radio-deal/ . Also...I've started a new Internet e-mail reflector group specifically to discuss Internet radio including Wifi devices. Check out http://www2.hard-core-dx.com/mailman/listinfo/internetradio for more details or to sign up, if you feel anything you'd want to discuss here in the swprograms group is too far out of the group's scope to be relevant. -- Richard Cuff / Allentown, PA USA _______________________________________________ Swprograms mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/swprograms To unsubscribe: Send an E-mail to [email protected]?subject=unsubscribe, or visit the URL shown above.
