Hey Dave,
Can you give me a little tutorial about web radio? Say I wanted to
listen
at night
while in bed, the computer is in the other room, do I need to do anything
to
the
computer before I go to bed? Do I setup the radio for specific URLs ,
then
I can just
change channels on the radio. I have looked for an online tutorial but
haven't found one.
Thanks MikeK


Sure thing. This is how I got started:

There's also a web stream tuner in iTunes that contains CBS stations like
KROQ and KCBS

Plus, there are more and more dedicated tuners like the Myine IRA.

http://myine.com/ira/

It searches a central database for tens of thousands of stations and
podcasts. It gets the World Service, but it also gets all the little tiny
BBC regional outlets where they speak Welsh and stuff.
Amazon sells them for $75 occasionally, $150 is too much, IMHO.


So the web radio picks up a wifi signal from my wireless router,
the web radio can then be programed to play audio for the station you pick?
Do you just turn a knob or push a button to cycle through station names to
pick the audio you want to play?
Thanks, MikeK
