| 676941 | 2008-06-10 23:55:00 | I recommend www.sky.fm and http: If you use Winamp or VLC to play them, I highly suggest you use the 24Kbit aacPlus streams. They don't use much bandwidth and sound fantastic.. Note that the 24k aacPlus streams are free to listen to. Another vote for these ones :thumbs:. Di.fm has mostly dance/trance/electronica etc channels, and sky.fm has channels for pretty much every other genre. Both are run by the same company, and both are extremely reliable, excellent quality, and have minimal advertising (or no ads if you pay for a premium sub - at $5US/month I reckon it's well worth it :D). As Sherman says, the AACPlus streams are very, very good, and use minimal bandwidth. |

| 676944 | 2008-06-11 08:02:00 | I purchased in Australia a Internet mp3/wma WEB Radio, made by ASUS . I believe it is not available in NZ yet. Do a Google search, you will find all about it. I highly recommend it, it comes with over 10,000 world-wide stations in its updateable software, including manual input of station URL's that are not listed. Outputs include RCA to e.g. Home Theatre. Search can done by music genre, country/location. 150 stations can be stored as My Favourites. Connection can be by broadband hardwire or wireless. | jhb (13853) | ||

I agree with some of the reviews, however like most things you need to know "how to drive it". Like all WEB radio stations, there is the buffering process before you are locked into any particular station. I found the factory buffering default was set to (6), so I shifted it to the max (8), and bingo stations were coming in. As far as the manual insertion of WEB radio stations, it is obvious you must have a URL that is compatible with the specs, i.e. mp3 or WMA. As soon as I shifted the buffer control to 8 from 6, it all worked. The LED screen is not a problem, it has brilliance dimmer control. Most WEB radio stations are mono anyway except for a few that are internet radio only. I have a little Philips stereo FM transmitter that broadcasts on the FM Band and can be received by my home theatre system, or any other radio around the house, e.g. bedside clock radio, car radio and so on. |
