Hello Again:
Once you have the unit programmed via the PC or iPhone, you can save your
stations in the available presets as well as sstore an unlimited number of
stations in your favourites.
As the setup of the radio is accessible through a web browser, you can then
allow only the favourites on your menu screen. The big problem with this
radio as that initially, you might require sighted help to set up the
network settings.
Cheers.

Yep points taken but I'm looking for a totally "stand alone" unit which
can be put in my kitchen or such place.
Thankfully someone has done the hard work for me <smile> and written a
response to my initial question which has been published on this list.

Hello:
If you have a SqueezeBox Boom internet radio, and an iPhone or iTouch,
you can have complete control of your radio. The radio can also be
controlled via the PC.
Hope this helps.

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.
Bud

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.
