I have only been able to get it to work through the Lounge. DrGDD seems to have explored Pure Connect further than I have. I will try registering stations that way.

As long as you know the URL for the MP3 format or the internet radio station, you can play those. You will need to register that URL through the "Lounge" (now called "Pure Connect"). Some of my favorites are the last news bulletin of certain radio stations. Pretty cool!

Thanks for the suggestion, Mickey. I tried the same thing, but still no success. I've restart, reset, and doublechecked everything I can think of, but still no connectivity to the station list. Argggg...

I didn't opt for internet radio (Sirius), but this model does NOT have internet radio built into it, if I am not mistaken. If it does have it built in, you just wire it up like any other component of the system. This does have tuner built into it, but the antenna is connected to my car's antenna (which is an exterior one that stands up all the time). In conclusion, I don't know if you need a tuner plus sirius to work. I suspect that the tuner is going to work as is, unless your car's antenna is broken, but you will have to subscribe to sirius, given this model can support that.

Basically it works from your wi-fi home network. Whatever you can get on your computer in terms of stations, you can get on the radio. That includes commercial radio as well as internet only stations. I'm in California and listen routinely to Iowa and Massachusetts stations. You can download the owner's manual at the Grace Digital web site. I'd really recommend doing that. There's something of a learning curve in using it, (baby boomer age here) though it's not hard. It's not plug 'n play, though. I'm a fan of this radio, use it as an alarm. I have a second portable version I use elsewhere in the house.

I do not believe that you can stream Sirius since you need a password to access the stream. Believe me-- after I got my Grace, I canceled my Sirius subscription. The offerings on internet radio are so more comprehensive than Sirius, I stopped listening completely to sat radio. If wireless was mobile, XM and Sirius would disappear completely, IMHO.

I don't have an answer, but I have a similar question..... when my Roku looses the connection to an internet radio station then it retries to get the station back....when I use my Nokia 810 internet tablet to listen to internet radio and it looses a station it asks if you want to retry...does the Squeezebox retry or does it ask first ? I want an internet radio that gets Pandora and Rhapsody ( I have a subscription) and I think this is the only one, but I also want it to retry without asking.....

I can't say, because mine never worked (problems accessing wireless network). However, I had another internet radio (the Grace was supposed to replace it), and it could get stations that had old-time radio programming. It would also pick up WFUV (which streams its shows); there's a show on that on Sunday evenings, "The Big Broadcast", that has music from the 1920s and 1930s. Radio Riel (on the internet) also has that type of music on some of its channels.

Local FM stations cannot be read by this device. It actually uses a network WiFi signal to access internet radio stations.

Yes you can but it's not that kind of radio that connects to local *signals*. It connects to the internet (over wifi) where you can pick from local channels and hundreds more. It only works with a decent wifi signal.

I never turn on FM radio. I sent one mp3 to my friend. I only download some songs from Chinese website.I even don't know there is FM radio with the mp3.

Hi, I just realized our radios do have 105 Kine. It is not in our general database because it is in our iheartradio app. So yes, you can play 105 Kine via our iheartradio integrated stations list directly on our radio. Enjoy!

I'm quite sure that it does play internet radio stations in stereo, though the manual does not mention that specifically. My ears tell me it's stereo ...sound is actually quite good. Also, there are left and right output jacks to connect to an external sound system. Stereo is a safe bet. Don't expect much tech help with this radio, though, and be aware that not all internet radio stations (i.e., Live 365 stations) can be heard on this or any other internet radio that I know of. Still, there are literally tens of thousands of stations you will be able to listen to. Best of luck!

No am/fm on this unit. I use pandora or if I want am/fm stream through an app on my iPhone via Apple TV ***Update - i stand corrected, i haven't used it but there is FM, and NO AM. FM appears to have 8 preset options

Like the other responses, I too am not sure. Grace Digital would be the best to pose that question. Now they do ask that if you have a particular site that you would like to stream, give them the URL and they would see if it met its requirements. I wanted Sky.FM Premium and it was quite simple to get that loaded. Now I enjoy continuous relaxation music uninterrupted by commercials.

You can only tune in to stations listed on Frontier Radio. I have Sirius/XM and I need a password to sign in on the internet. I haven't figured out a way to include my password in the IP address for Frontier.

Unfotunately I don't stream so I cant do a real answer.In any case I think that the internet capability of Zen Touch 2 are enough for listen radio in streaming.

yes, I just tried it. any station that streams on the web will play on this. I have three of this model and another model from Grace. Easy to search stations. took me about 15 seconds to find your station
