I am in the process of locating an audio device that will allow me to connect to streaming radio stations online without having to rely on a computer to feed it playlists or any other information. I have found alot of devices that claim to do this however upon reading their user manuals many of them have a preset list of stations that can be heard but they mention nothing about being able to add custom url's to the list for stations not in the list. This is the key feature I need. I have a client who has started his own streaming radio station and he wants to play it in resturaunts and stores and he needs to have a device that is dummy proof that can be plugged directly into an amplifier and an ethernet jack and have it play his streams. Wireless would be a nice feature but is not 100% necessary. Does anyone have any experience with a device like this?

Maybe see if the folks at Orban have any ideas, they do a lot of audio streaming

Thanks for the suggestion. I ended up opting for the Philips Streamium sl400i which can access custom streams through a personalized web based playlist. Its a little overkill for what I need but it should do the job.
