I am sick of tuning into streaming radio and finding it is an overly compressed signal. The only good sounding stations I find tend to play obscure music that I really don't enjoy. Pandora really does not sound good either.

Ever since my favorite radio station went under (106.3 for those in NJ) it has been difficult to find something decent to listen to.]]>Aug 12th 2009 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/
I use an older Denon 4306, and it only plays mp3 streams, It won't do Windows media or other formats, so the selection is limited. I've got a few stations I like and play them on the Denon often.

In my other room I use an xbmc/ubuntu htpc. Both solutions work pretty well. The htpc is far and away the better solution IMO if you can commit the time to get everything set up. Windows Media Center is also a good HTPC.]]>Aug 12th 2009 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/Aug 12th 2009 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/Aug 12th 2009 8:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/Aug 12th 2009 8:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/Aug 13th 2009 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/Aug 13th 2009 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/Aug 13th 2009 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/Aug 13th 2009 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/It comes in 4 different flavors, great sounding onboard Dacs, streams any format you throw @ it, including my favorite "Flac Lossless".
Bang for the buc it's the best thing out there. I use a Qnap 439 Pro Nas with 4 x 2 gb Seagate Hdd's loaded w/ Squeezecenter 7.33, 1 Squeeze reciever piped into a Anthem Avm-50, Paradigm Studio 100 v4 Sig. series front & center, 4 Sig Lcr-5 inwall surrounds & Sig series sub 25 for Home theater.

A second Squeeze reciever on an older Yamaha high end reciever with an 8 channel speaker switcher hooked into 2 Paradigm Stylis oudoor speakers @ the hot tub on the upper deck, 2 more on the upper deck & 2 more on the lower deck @ the swimming pool.

And a third Squeeze reciever tied into an older Sony reciever in my Home Gym.

This setup has worked flawlessly & best of all, not even 1 ethernet cable in the loop, I use a Linksys Wrt-610N gigabit router to the Nas & every device from Squeezebox is WiFi enabled.

I Love It.]]>Aug 13th 2009 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/Aug 13th 2009 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/ask-engadget-hd-how-can-i-get-internet-radio-in-my-home-theater/
Nice web interface (SqueezeCenter) to all Squeezebox players from any computer on the local network or Internet. You can also control via an iPhone or iPodTouch running iPeng. Support for a large number of streaming services or iRadio stations, along with lossless format support.

Squeezbox Classics are great, but you can also purchase inexpensive Squeezebox Receivers WITHOUT using the Duet controller, but you'll have to use a program called NET-UDAP to configure them. After the initial configuration you can simply use the SqueezeCenter interface from any computer to control any room. $140 option to add audio zones to your home.
