Dec. 22nd, 2013 10:08 amI'm looking for solutions for my mother, who likes to listen to the radio and music while she's in the kitchen, but that's not so easy where we live now. Our radio reception, both analogue and digital, is not good at all - we can pick up a few analogue stations but not ones she wants to listen to all the time. She finds CDs a pain, because they invariably stop at an inconvenient moment.
My thought was some kind of streaming device from our wireless network, but it needs to be something that doesn't use iTunes or need a Windows (or Mac) PC to work. (We could get round the Windows thing if we have to but it would be easier without.) All the streaming devices I can see online at a quick glance seem to be for video and connect to a TV, which isn't what she needs.
So, something that plays internet/digital radio and also preferably something that could playback our current digital musical collection. Would anyone have any suggestions/warnings/ideas? Thank you for any help you can give me.
