The next thing you and your dad should check out are podcasts. If your dad has any particular interests no matter how esoteric or favorite shows that are broadcast at a time that is not convenient for him they are often retained on line as podcasts. (Good for broadcasts in inconvenient timezones.)
You can download the podcast player app and put in the URLs of the podcast and he can choose to listen whenever he want. For instance, my son-in-law is a firefighter, when I gave him an mp3 player for Christmas I mentioned that he could probably find a relevant podcast. He laughed. If you google, you will find about a zillion firefighter podcasts. There is a podcast for everything. Your dad wants sanskrit? He can have it. Just install the Podcast Player app and add the URL for the All India Radio news podcasts http://newsonair.nic.in/nsd.asp (most easily done on mysqueezebox.com). Each day he will see an alphabetical list of the news podcasts in all of the umpteen major Indian languages, including sanskrit. They are arranged alphabetically so all he has to do is scroll down to the esses. Whatever language or topic he wants. It's all there. And music too. Sign him up for Pandora or some of the other music apps and he can listen to a stream of whatever he likes whenever he likes it. At this rate he won't have to worry about turning the Radio off. He will want it on 24/7--so much listening, so little time. -- mpower9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mpower9's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33930 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88495 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
