Logitech&#8217;s Squeezebox Radio is a smallish desktop radio &#8211; except that it connects (via WiFi or Ethernet) to the internet &#8211; and gets your ears to the literally 1000s of internet sources, normal broadcast (over the net), internet-only, Pandora, etc. (Since it&#8217;s discontinued, I include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B004YI9NTS\/cooltools-20\">Grace Digital&#8217;s Mondo<\/a>, which I haven&#8217;t tried yet myself but believe it&#8217;s fairly equivalent and currently available.)<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t yet looked at what&#8217;s available over the net, it&#8217;s truly amazing. The radio station aggregator, <a href=\"http:\/\/tunein.com\/\">tunein<\/a> (part of what the radio uses), is accessible via browser, too, so check it out. (Tunein is also what Sonos uses and it works well, nothing sketchy.) <\/p>\n<p>On the other side of the 1000s of stations are presets &#038; Favorites in the radio. So you can build up a list of, well, favorites without having to resort to a paper list. Saving some to the preset buttons makes a few even faster to get to, just like the buttons on a car radio. I&#8217;ve set some of these up for older people who aren&#8217;t savvy about new tech, and they really love having the huge source variety right at their elbow. The specialty sources (old-time radio, international, talk, etc.) soothes even the most demanding tastes. And all the contemporary sources should satisfy everyone else too. It&#8217;s a cool little gizmo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wi-Fi music player tunes into  free Internet radio stations and online music services,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27278"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27278"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27278\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27280,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27278\/revisions\/27280"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
