Hello:
You might want to download the iPeng app from the iTunes store for your
iPhone/iTouch. It provides complete control of your Boom once the unit is on
the network.
Cheers.

Thanks, I'm looking at the prices of the Squeezebox Boom, cheap enough so
I'll buy one later on this week and let you all know how I go with it.

so are you saying that the Squeeze Box is an Internet radio?

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.

If you have a SqueezeBox Boom internet radio, and an iPhone or

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.

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.
