Does it only play internet radio stations that are findable in "The Lounge".. or can it play any streaming internet radio station? For example can I put in a streaming URL like http://listen.alphageekradio.com:8000... or is it limited to stations in...

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!

Yes,you should have no problem doing that. Under " My local stations" You will have access to most FM and AM local radio stations thru the internet. But you will also have the option to search FM stations broadcasted "over the air".

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.

Gregory: I think the free trial is a great idea on Pandora's part- I know that it is worth it to me to continue. Iespecially like how you can create your own stations so easily. Or you can find others that have been seeded for you-Blue Note records has seeded several jazz stations that are fantastic.How will I know when the time is up- will the Pandora simply stop working?Chuck

This radio doesn't receive paid services like Sirus. Just AM/FM/Shortwave. Great radio though...incredible reception of weak stations from far away.

Not that I know of. However, it does play "internet" radio stations so you might be able to stream it through the receiver.

Currently internet radio is the only thing I listen to using my Pure dock. I do however use the digital out to my own DAC and when one listens to a decent music stream in terms of kbps, the sound is great. I was considering purchasing a dedicated internet radio/digital content streamer component to complement my hi-fi but with the PURE dock and my iPod Touch, I no longer need to. Just remember that the sound quality always depends on the quality of the source.

Technically no, but you can stream AM/FM stations from around the world if it is connected to the internet. Otherwise you will need a seperate tuner.

It is only an internet radio, meaning you can only listen to stations over the internet. Having said that, we've found that all our favorite local AM/FM stations have internet simulcasts, so that we're also able to listen to local radio.

No... It will only playback downloaded music, provided it works at all... Which it probably won't.

As I purchase my music through Amazon I tried downloading the Amazon CloudPlayer App with no luck, so I imagine that the Pandora might be problematic as well though it seems that others have been able to do it without a problem. Just remember it is truly a WiFi unit which means you have to be in a wifi area for it to work.

It sure does. I listen to music stations from Poland, S. Korea, Russia, UK, etc...They used to have a quick station search feature right here on the Amazon product description but I don't see it any more.You can get an idea of what stations it can stream by creating a free www.MySqueezeBox.com account, then click on Remote Control > Internet Radio > Search (or select select World and browse that way). This will not play on your computer as this is meant to Remote Control via the web UI your actual player, but will help you see what is out there.

It will play from the server it does not stream to anything else,any other devices would have to access the server.Hope this helps.

I don't know. I only was able to get radio stations (which how I got them I don't know) and not anything else. When my kids get home I will ask them if they can do anything with it. I PLAYED with the buttons and found a station (don't ask me how though) I liked but it is okay for sound quality but only ok. I won't buy any more.

The radio will operate just by the WiFi. But, if you want it to stream music already stored on your computer, then you have to turn on the computer.

Sorry you can only listen in. I have no problems with the operation of this unit. Remember the Video/Audio stream is only as good as your connections.

Find a station that absolutely does not come in and use that one. I've used it in vehicles that have awesome reception and it can be a pain some times because you might have to change stations on both the unit and the stereo to continue to listen. Usually the higher and lower channels are not used (I.E. 88.1 or 107.1)
