I haven't been all that impressed with the Plextalk web radio feature at
this point. it seems to be quite picky what streams it will handle, it does
best with MP3 streams, but haven't had any luck with WMA streams at all.

Subject: Accessible Internet Radio devices
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.
