Apple's New iPod Touch: Should You Get It? {Switched.com}
Sep 5th 2007 4:55PM To me, the thing that is most disappointing with the Ipod Touch is that there's no support for internet radio (mainly Shoutcast streams). This may not be as much of an issue with music or podcasts, but when it comes to wanting to listen to talk stations online or any live content, this is an issue.
The Sansa Connect from Sandisk had the same potential regarding internet radio, and they limited it only to Yahoo's service to listen to their internet radio music streams.
When it comes to internet radio, the company that has made an excellent device is Rokulabs. They have the SoundBrige M1000, a wifi-based device that can be plugged into a stereo and allows you to listen to any shoutcast and WMA streams online that you choose. Now if only a company would release a portable MP3 player with wifi support that would allow you the flexibility to listen to any internet radio streams, I would certainly purchase such a product.
Hands-on with the Sandisk Sansa Connect {Engadget}
Apr 11th 2007 5:50PM Something I haven't seen brought up regarding the internet radio support with the Sansa Connect is if you can play any shoutcast audio stream that you choose. Can anyone confirm if this is possible with the Sansa Connect? If this isn't supported, I think it would be a huge disappointment. Also, considering that the device will play WMA files, can it also play windows media audio streams online?
