Hi,

During the last week or so I finally changed over to broadband for my
connection. One of the things I have since started to explore is 'internet
radio'. However I haven't yet found much that is interesting. Wondering if
this is because I haven't yet looked in the right places, or if it isn't
present! :-)

Consider purchasing an 'internet radio'. No messing about with software,
unless ye want to :-)

Most have a built-in function to scroll and see what's available, and
some (like my Squeezebox 3*) sound better on playback than what's
possible using audio chips on most items of computer hardware.

BTW the 'Real' format for anything audio and video sucks big time, and
is not widely supported on independent equipment destined for higher
quality use.

* - though unfortunately ye need a mainstream OS box to run that, unless
building into dedicated hardware like a NAS.
