Internet Radio Device

[simon43]

I want to buy an internet radio device! Basically, it's like a standalone radio with a wifi interface and software which allows the unit to receive internet radio stations without the need for a PC. You just allow the radio device to connect to the internet via your wifi router and ADSL service.

I've read info about several different manufacturers, most using the 'Reciva' software.

I can buy one from overseas, but it would be good to source it locally in Thailand.

Has anyone seen them for sale at Pantip Plaza? how much?

Thanks

Simon

I have thought about this too, but the prospect of spending the cash just to suffer from broadcasts interrupted by buffering put me off the idea. Will they work well here?

I use Internet radio all the time at home, and as long as I stick to the 56k or lower sites they seem to work fine (ie no buffering probs). I just hook my laptop up to my stereo, though it would be nice to have a standalone radio. It's fun to listen to kooky talk shows from the states, or go to live 365 and fine virtually anything under the sun to listen to.

Any updates?

Where can one buy an Internet Radio Receiver?

Panthip Plaza?

Fortune Tower?

I haven't seen one for sale in Thailand yet.
