Hi people!
I'm looking to buy an internet radio that will also let me stream music files wirelessly from my pc. However, I think it's confusing choosing the best one available today, although I've read lots of reviews. The following ones seem interesting:Blik wi-fi, Revo Pico wi-fi, Tangent Quatro, Noxon iradio. Can anyone recommend any of these? Nille |

Wow, I had a look at what people had written about it and they were really pleased with what it could do.
I thought I'd use it in the garden or in the kitchen listening to Internet radio or wirelessly listening to music from my pc. Are there any built-in speakers or do you have to buy speakers separately? I would like a player with built-in speaker(s) so that the player is easy to carry around. Any other suggestions?

Well there is the the Sonos. Unfortunatly this doesn't come with speakers either, but it definitely is worth looking into as it's wi-fi ready. Going with the Squeezebox might be your best bet in this situation though as I highly recommend it also. http://www.sonos.com/ -------------------- College student/IT Assistant

Perhaps the Philips Streamium line meets your requirements. I don't know in what country you live, but here in Europe it's widely available.

Another Squeezebox supporter here
 You'd need a set of active speakers to go with it as it doesn't have any built in.

Ok, everybody is praising squeezebox so it must be really good. Can anyone recommend some decent small inexpensive to use with it?
