No you don't need to use the computer to define a radio station. You can navigate through the Internet Radio directory (powered by RadioTime) to access thousands of radio stations. You can then save the station as a favorite and access it in the future with a simple button press (like on your car radio). If for some reason you can't find your favorite station from the directory, then you can use the computer to enter the URL for Squeezebox to play it. A computer is not required to access any Internet based content. And it does support Pandora, Rhapsody, Napster and a number of other services. Matt C Dir. Bus. Dev.

There are already plug-ins for Last.fm and other audio streaming sources available on DivX Labs in the DivX Connected section. I'm sure there is more to come from the community.

You can play MP3 files that are on your computer, but I haven't found a way to bypass radio-frontier to get to an internet source

Not that I'm aware of, but that would be great. The radio is fantastic. I'm getting stations I'd never gotten clearly before. It was a big investment for me, but glad I took the plunge.

Not very well, so far. It has failed to include my playlists which hold several hundred tunes each. It would take days to manually rebuild them on the Squeezecenter software. if anyone knows how to remedy this i would be gartefull for the info.

My Radio has difficulty connecting to My SqueezeBox.com sometimes.....my Boombox doesn't...... I am beginning to doubt I'll be able to use the radio on my screen porch while I'm in my pool ( the reason I bought the radio )...too frustrating to interrupt swimming to mess with the radio. Last summer I used my itouch to play Pandora or my Nokia internet tablet Rhapsody App on my porch and they worked great...but I liked my Boombox and the Radio would have been simpler with it's speakers and rechargeable battery ( eventually)

None whatsoever. Plug it in. Use your mixer of choice to enable recording on it. Configure your audio recording program (Audacity etc.) to use it. I hooked it right up to Debian Squeeze when I got it.

Yes it can. I use QNAP which offers support for the squeezebox. I got the QNAP some time ago so there may be better options out there right now.

For me it was not easy to use, I tossed it and went back to ScanDisk much easier to find music, podcast, books etc. And the radio on IBrightspot was tinny for the stations that you could pick up. Good Luck in your search!

You have to use an empty station that has no music already playing on it. It is different for every zone. Look for one that has lots of white noise and in between occupied stations

Yes, you need the basic unit with all the radio stations, etc., and which also has the one CD slot. This "add-on" sits underneath the basic radio unit, and is easy to install, linking both units together. Just follow the installation instructions exactly as they are written. You will now be able to play 4 CD's one after the other. Enjoy !

yes, any station carried on I Heart can be tuned. But the app itself is unnecessary, as each station is found individually..

You might need the App to establish which station the music will stream to...

Yes, in fact you have to do so when you set it up for the first time. It should be under settings. I have only played it a few times as it was a gift for my father.

NO ! Needs a digital audio workstation or computer with a digital audio program loaded .

Yes, and it is surprisingly sensitive. I get numerous stations in a fringe area. And it has station presets. Handy gadget.

No; you have to run each station manually on at the time. There is no "all stations manual run".
