Default wi fi internet radio acceptance

internet audio content ain't radio ~ RHF


It depends upon your definition of radio. :-)

There are many radio stations streaming their programing over the
Internet that never were, and probably never will be broadcasting over
shortwave.

If you want to listen to those programs, they are a good alternative
to "top 40 via satellite" or Rush Limbaugh. Having a radio type interface
instead of a computer extends access to those programs to the less technical,
or in places that a computer would not really fit, such as besides your bed.

In my case, it won't replace my beside radio (a Kenwood R-5000, with 20 meters
of random wire antenna), but it might replace my wife's, a Sony AM/FM portable.
It could very easily replace my clock radio.

BTW, did you know that there was a failed effort to produce one 10 years
ago: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerbango and that there is a U.S.
patent issued (to someone else) on the idea of presenting Internet Radio
programs and actual radio programs together.
