Personally, having compared using a computer for the iPlayer with a
'net radio' I'd say I found using the computer far easier as well as
giving better results.

I find a bedside net radio easier to use (and more acceptable to my
better half) than a bedside computer. (She did complain that the Pure
Avanti Flow I use is rather large - and I must agree with her on that
point.)

Out of interest, which net radio(s) did you try?

At present I am having a play with a Roberts - big black box but I've
forgotten the model number at present!

The main advantage of a net radio for me is the availability of foreign
stations (like BR Klassik and France Musique) at reasonable quality.

Are they not available as net streams you can pick up with your computer? I
know the AVRO stations and various other European Classical ones are as I
do listen to them occasionally.

Slainte,

Jim
