Hi Dane,
I have the jjSanyo r227 internet radio which I really like and think
it's great. As you say though, it does take a pair of eyes to do any
scanning or searching unfortunately. It has only eight presets, but
I have eight of my favorite station set in them. It's somewhat
limited, but if you pick eight of your favorite ones then it's not so
bad. If you get tired of any of the stations you can have a sighted
person help you to scan to find some others. I've had it for about a
year now and have never regretted buying it.
there are a lot of interesting stations out there just for the
looking. If you have any questions please email me.

Hi!
Does anyone manage to use a standard Internet type radio device? by
that I mean a device which you just purchase from your local Walmart
or local electronics Retailer?
Obviously the user would have trouble setting the thing up due to
the lack of speech or other accessibility but just supposing you had
someone set the radio up to match your wi-fi network and they
programmed some presets for you, I can't see any reason why you
couldn't scroll through those presets up and down as you would with
some digitally controlled FM radios which have been readily
available for the last quarter of a century, anyone got any views or
had any experience with this.
I'm looking at buying a "stand-alone" Internet radio for the kitchen
though if I can't get one that won't work at all for a person with
no vision then I won't be too worried, Ootunes on the Iphone and
Ipad does a damn good job but I don't want to be carrying them
around with me everywhere if I can avoid it.
I did think about the new Plextalk Pocket which is supposed to have
Internet Radio accessible on it however I think it will be quite
some time before we see anything out of that company, unfortunately
the whole company's location was destroyed in the recent Japan earthquake.
