Ραδιόφωνο από Internet

[LeonidasNaval]

Το γκατζετάκι που ψάχνω είναι το εξής:
Ραδιόφωνο το οποίο δεν απαιτεί την ύπαρξη υπολογιστή αλλά συνδέεται απευθείας με την ADSL γραμμή και έχοντας αποθηκεύσει κάποιες URLS μπορεί να λαμβάνει τις online εκπομπές από το Internet. Φυσικά θα πρέπει να έχει και κάποιες σοβαρές εξόδους ήχου ώστε να συνδέεται στον ψηφιακό ενισχυτή. Υπάρχει τίποτα;

 

[Χρήστος Ακρατόπουλος]

Xωρίς την χρησιμοποίηση pc δεν ξέρω κάποιο...

 

[LeonidasNaval]

Υπάρχει τουλάχιστον ένα (χωρίς PC) αλλά δεν θυμάμαι που το είχα βρεί.

Product Description

Amazon.com Review
Though it may look like a computer peripheral, Philips's gleaming silver Streamium SL300i multimedia receiver is a perfect fit for your living room or bedroom. Amazingly compact, the hardcover-book-sized device is WiFi-enabled to stream audio, video, and Internet-based entertainment from your PC to your television, stereo, home theater, or other platform at a remove from your computer. Wireless transmission requires integration with a home network, but we found setup a snap. If you don't have an existing network, you can also run a special crossover Ethernet (Cat5) cable (not supplied) between your computer and the SL300i--an immediate and affordable alternative.

Without bogging down your PC's resources, the SL300i gives you access to your complete library of digital photos, MP3 music, and computer- and Internet-based movies and video content. Use it with your PC or Mac (Windows 98, 98SE, 2000, ME, and XP and Mac OS X; Mac wireless networking available starting fall 2004). If you plan to connect the device to an existing network, make sure your hardware (router, wireless cardbus adapter, etc.) is WiFi-compliant (802.11g/b). While the product claims 802.11b compatibility, we strongly recommend using 802.11g or, if 802.11b, devices made within the last year or so; we experienced only intermittent success with a 2002-vintage 802.11b router.

With broadband Internet access and a compatible wireless home network already in place, setup should be delightfully simple: plug in the SL300i, hook up the audio and video outputs to your TV or surround receiver via composite- or S-video jacks, and turn it on. In our system, the SL300i "found" our network automatically and allowed us to get right to Internet registration (at my.philips.com) so we could listen to any number of Web radio stations while installing the Philips Media Manager software (or PMM) on our computer. You'll need to disable your Microsoft or other computer-based firewalls, relying instead on the firewall built into your wireless router. (Otherwise, open ports 49152 to 65535 for the SL300i.)

The value of the Internet audio and video should not be underestimated. You can use the many theme-based radio stations from Live365.com, Andante, MP3.com, Playhouse Radio, or Yahoo's LaunchCast (among others) to sonically coordinate a dinner or dance party, and there's plenty there to entertain the kids, too. Yahoo and iFilm.com provide high-quality music videos and film trailers at up to 700 kbps. For radio, sound quality proved remarkably listenable, with most but not all stations broadcasting in stereo, free of the swishy artifacts that plague much online audio. Online services also include Internet gaming.

With respect to streaming your media files, the SL300i sees only the files or folders you've selected for it. Within the PMM--and right from your living room--you can sort music by artist, genre, album, or song, or select slideshow mode for viewing your JPEG digital photos. Full-screen mode expands JPEG images and video streams to literally fill your screen, a nice change from JPEG-friendly DVD players that render a digital photo as a tiny box within a huge black frame.

Unlike the pricier SL400i, the SL300i has no display, so you'll be dependent on your TV and the unit's onscreen display for navigating to available content. But you can manage, right from the well-designed remote, all Internet content and even programming from multiple networked PCs. Coolest of all--while one person is remotely accessing content from a PC's hard drive or the broadband Internet connection, the home PC remains fully usable by other members of the household. A total of two analog stereo audio outputs lets you feed a tape deck or CD recorder in addition to your TV or audio receiver.

Philips is actively updating its services and its software, and the SL300i will periodically update its firmware--a cool feature designed to keep the unit technologically shipshape, running ever more smoothly and accommodating ever more formats. --Michael Mikesell

Affordable
Straightforward setup and installation when used with compatible hardware
High-quality streaming audio and video
Full-screen and slideshow options for JPEG image viewing
Quiet operation

Supports music playlist creation
Fun, colorful, content-modulated screensavers

Kerbango 100E Internet Radio

Product Features

Alarm function can change stations at preselected times
Stand-alone Internet radio device
Uses broadband connection such as DSL, cable modem, or ISDN
Plays Real Audio G2, 5.0, 4.0, and 3.0 files and streaming MP3
Includes a built-in antenna for receiving AM and FM broadcasts

Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
The Kerbango 100E is the first stand-alone Internet radio device. Since you won't be using your computer to listen to online radio, you won't have to deal with software conflicts or competition for computing resources. Just connect to the Web and tune into thousands of audio streams from around the globe--from the latest news in Australia to a cricket match in New Delhi to BBC's Radio 1 in London.

There are no service fees associated with listening to online radio stations. The Kerbango is based on the Real Networks G2 Player, and it plays RealAudio G2, 5.0, 4.0, and 3.0 streams as well as streaming MP3. However, you will need a broadband connection such as DSL, cable modem, or ISDN (dial-up connections are not supported). Additionally, the Kerbango uses an Ethernet connection, requiring a PC network or cable modem.

(If you don't have a broadband connection, ask your current Internet service provider about upgrading. If you already have a broadband connection, it is recommended that you connect the Kerbango by using a cable/DSL router. Note that some ISPs may require the purchase of an additional IP address or other services.)

Once you've connected to the Internet, the Kerbango makes it easy to discover new radio stations. Just use the tuning knob as you would on a regular radio to select a category of audio stream. If you choose the music category, you'll find such listings as hard rock, classical, country, jazz, and then be able to choose from individual stations within each listing. And since your broadband connection is always on, the Kerbango can be left connected to the Internet all the time without affecting your ability to make or receive telephone calls.

The Kerbango tuner stays up to date with the latest stations, newest music, and current events by communicating with the Kerbango Tuning Service every time you're connected. KTS is a sophisticated database that stores information about all the stations that Kerbango finds on the Internet. Once a station is added to the KTS list of available stations, an automated program called a StreamBot continually checks for transmission quality and reliability. This information is displayed on the Kerbango, indicating a station's expected signal quality before you tune it in.

The 100E features two full-range ducted stereo speakers with 2 watts per channel. It also includes a built-in antenna for receiving AM/FM broadcasts, a clock that's updated automatically when connected to the Internet, and an alarm function that can change stations at preset times (such as when waking up in the morning). The device runs on Motorola DigitalDNA technology, with a 32-bit processor running at 81 MHz, 16 MB SDRAM, 8 MB of flash memory, and 4 MB of ROM. It includes an Ethernet RJ-45 (10Base-T) input and outputs for stereo audio lines and headphones.

You can try out the extensive KTS library of online radio stations by visiting the Kerbango site (www.kerbango.com) and connecting to a station using either RealPlayer or Windows Media Player.
