Internet radio (also web radio, net radio, streaming radio, e-radio webcasting) is the audio service transmitted via the Internet. Music streaming on the Internet is usually referred to as webcasting since it is not transmitted broadly through wireless means.
Internet radio involves streaming media, presenting listeners with a continuous stream of audio that cannot be paused or replayed, much like traditional broadcast media; in this respect, it is distinct from on-demand file serving. Internet radio is also distinct from podcasting, which involves downloading rather than streaming.
Many Internet radio services are associated with a corresponding traditional (terrestrial) radio station or radio network. Internet-only radio stations are independent of such associations.
Internet radio services are usually accessible from anywhere in the world—for example, one could listen to a Japanese station from Europe or America. Some major networks like CBS Radio and Citadel Broadcasting (except for news/talk and sports stations) in the US, and Chrysalis in the UK restrict listening to in-country because of music licensing and advertising concerns. Internet radio remains popular among expatriates and listeners with interests that are often not adequately served by local radio stations (such as eurodance, progressive rock, ambient music, folk music, classical music, and stand-up comedy). Internet radio services offer news, sports, talk, and various genres of music—every format that is available on traditional radio stations.

cant recommend for the price
for what youre getting here i think this is just extremely overpriced, i was expecting a lot more
its easy to use, it explains how it all works, theres just not a whole lot going on here, i would want a lot more in terms of features and design for this type of price tag
if i can get a stream board which reads out whats playing and has a little visualizer and stuff for 50 L$, i expect something like that to just come built in for 2900 L$, this has nothing like that
its a reliable and functional script setup for handling a lot of internet radio stations, and its fine, but its not 2900 L$ worth of features
Working Great Now
There were a few problems at first, but I was quickly contacted and helped fixed those issues.. now everything has been running great, playing the streaming channels I chose, and set up is easier than a lot of other ones I tried. Thanks Beam for helping me out after purchase! I didn't at first, but now I'd totally recommend this radio for anyone looking, small - discreet, and very smooth after you get it set up right! :P lol.
Well, it works.
Well, it works. That's the one positive point.
For an extraordinary high price you get:
- Completely "flat" design, just a prim with textures.
- Accessibility only via users on notecard - no "group" setting.
- no station menu, only possibillity is to click and click and click along the list.
- a very short list of pre-programmed stations, no autoupdate or such.
For a price of nearly 1300 L$ it's a bad joke. You can get far better radios for 1/3 of that price.
HELP
this isnt working for me i added my name in the owners notecard and its still telling me that im not in it
read review
it is a radio... it plays music... yay! it looks like it belongs in a car.
Great Land Radio Player
This product is very easy to setup! I love how you can program any radio station you want in it and be able to just switch them quick without having to go and change out your land stream each time you want a new station. Would definitely recommend the product, just make sure you read the setup notecard all the way through before you get started to make sure you do it all properly and it goes smoothly.
