Lately I have hesitated to buy a new kind of device : an Internet Radio. It connects on your WiFi router and plays thousands of radios streams that you can catch on the web.

Today I just plug my portable PC into my HiFi system using a mini-jack, but I find the quality is not so good. Therefore I have been looking for better options. Here are some products I find interesting :

• Logitech Squeeze Box Classic
  
• 2 small WiFi radios seen on PixMania
  
• The Philips WACS7500 is a revolutionnary HiFi system based on WiFi for playing music everywhere in your house using wireless technologies
• The Sony NAS_C5E
  

I have visited several shops (Padeg, TDH... ) in Brussels, LLN and Overijse to try to see those products in real but they have not yet arrived in the shops. So for now, the only option seems to be to buy online. We probably need to wait until Christmass.


For the moment, my favorite Internet Radios are :

• RGRFM - Non Stop Rythm and dance
  
• Hard Salsa
  

For a list of more than 1000 free radios on the web, you can have alook at Shoutcast (http://www.shoutcast.com/).
