[Electronics-Talk] New Radio for Dining Room With InternetConnectivity [Curious Myself]

[Chip Orange]

Yes, and there's the Amazon Echo as well (a company named something like Mystic Access also sells an Amazon Echo tutorial for blind users; I seem to recall that setup without owning a Mac or Idevice may be problematic, check Mystic's  podcasts on the Amazon Echo for details).

I have wifi in my house, and it's easy as pie to hook my iPod Touch up to a
speaker, connect to TuneIn, et voila, internet radio.
The same thing could be done with any internet-capable device.

Hi,
There is also the Amazon Echo. It is a not-very-big cylinder but the sound
comes out all around it and it is really good quality. You can get the radio
stations from Tune-in on the Echo. I had Alexa playing all kinds of music
during the holidays. You can get news and other stuff, too. I haven't tried
sports yet, but probably she can. The radio stations come in so much more
clearly than most of them do here.

You have to have Wi-fi for the Echo to work. I have it with Tomcats, as I
call them.
Thanks,
Lauren
Ps:a friend of mine got the Echo and was asking me all kinds of questions
about it which I didn't know until I had asked you guys. Then when I saw
hers, I decided to get one. It would definitely fit into a dining room and
pump out really good sound.

Blessings in Jesus' name!Now all glory to God, who is able, through his
mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might
ask or think.
   --Ephesians 3:20, NLT

There is the accessible internet-connected radio from Radio Solutions, can't
remember the name off the top of my head.

I remember there used to be an Internet radio that came out in the 90's. 
I've been curious if they still exists.  I haven't heard about them in
years.
