We've been streaming internet radio through our Amazon Echo and PC but we are beginning to think that a dedicated piece of hardware would be better for the kitchen/living area. Searching ER.org site, I haven't found a recent discussion of internet radio hardware. I have one friend who uses an internet radio listens but he listens to exactly ONE station on it and has no clue how to describe setup and usage.
We have found that many of the major internet streaming services (Pandora, iHeart Radio, Spotify, Siriusetc.) have very shallow playlists in our areas of interest. We have found CalmRadio which has a very rich selection of classical music, but is awkward to access through the Echo. Also, DW would like to have an easy way to access the tens of thousands of tracks that are currently stored on my PC and that I listen to through iTunes.
In short, the question is:
Do any of you have any recommendations for a stand alone internet radio that will be easy to operate and will easily access the tracks that we have on our PC?
