| 488295 | 2006-09-30 06:44:00 | Anyone have experience of radios that I can connect to my wireless bb setup? I'd like to have a radio I can move around the house and listen to BBC or ABC programmes (including 'listen again services'). Thanks |

Jaycar have two suitable products: Good = Cat AR-3110 @$44.95 Better = Cat AR-3115 @ $71.95 Cheers Billy 8-{) |

Radio stations offering bit rates of up to 32K can be streamed perfectly well without a hitch on dial-up connections. |

| 488301 | 2006-09-30 23:47:00 | di.fm and http: Both of these are run by the same company (DigitallyImported Inc.) and offer 24KBits/sec AAC+ v2 streams, 96KBits/sec MP3 streams, and 32KBits/sec WMA streams. Servers have so much capacity it's not funny - I have yet to strike a full server. di.fm is dance music, mostly trance/techno etc. sky.fm is more general. |

| 488303 | 2006-10-01 03:16:00 | Thanks for the replies - but I was obviously not being clear. What I'm looking for is advice on hardware - a wifi radio set. The only one I've come across is by a UK company called Accoustic Energy but I don't know if they sell in NZ. CCPAKL:blush: |

| 488304 | 2006-10-01 03:50:00 | Billy T gave you the answer. The devices he listed will transmit the radio audio from the PC to any FM radio receiver, or stereo. The audio quality is excellent, especially when transmitted to a good stereo. The range is reasonable. I find it works fine throughout the house. Useful too in the car for transmitting from portable mp3 players to the car stereo. |
