Digital Radios

This is the kind of expensive box that can play streamed radio. Didn't realise it can also do Listen Again stuff.

what i worry about with things like that is that as streams change, and tech changes, this thing will be left behind. with something like a radio i like to at least pretend to myself that it's possibly a purchase for life.

luxury. the other bbc streams, radio1 and 2 certainly, are roughly 32kbps. but these are realaudio 10 (aac with sbr? ps? dunno) and so are several times better that mp3.

that said, it's fine, i listen to it all day and it doesn't bother me.

this can record shows too but its about 90.00-100.00 -

one thing i dont like too much about the pure radios made from wood is that theyre trying to look like old traditional radios. i much prefer that 100% plastic look when it comes to DABs.

plus they are mono. so 1960s.

Yeah, me too, but remember some things can get firmware updates. Not sure if that applies to the AE box.
