These tune selected internet radio stations and require no computer.

That looks like an excellent suggestion for Amy and her partner's musical
interests, technical capabilities and desire for pretty good stereo quality.
Many Internet 'radio' stations stream at 128 kbps and can sound quite
decent. If dropouts due to network congestion have not been a problem on the
Mac, then they should not be with this radio-like appliance.

Only downside I see is that they don't tune to RA or WMA, just MP-3
stations.

According to http://www.rokulabs.com/products/selectionguide.php, they
support:
MP3
AAC
WMA and DRM10
WAV / AIFF

but there are restrictions in the current software - see
http://www.rokulabs.com/support/internetradio.php - including WMA Voice
format used by BBC World Service (future support planned) and nothing other
than http streaming.

Seems to work with iTunes.
