Internet Radio


Is Internet Radio free,or are subscriptions required?Also,
if I'm only interested in listening to Internet Radio,do I need anything other than a USB DAC and cables to listen through my stereo?

free. there are services that charge for premium services but most are free. you can actually go with any dac, not just usb by using something like the hiface usb to spdif (or bnc) converter. other options would be the squeezebox products which will stream wirelessly and contain a dac as well. sort of depends on the level of sound quality you are looking for and your preference in user interface.
i second the recommendation for radio paradise. i probably listen to that station more than any other and have picked up a bunch of new music from it too.
tvad you can also get a link to 192kbs stream from thier site...even better find! kcrw is good to, a bit more alternative.
tvad ... it does. you can see the kbs in the top right screen below the station info if you use the web gui for sbox server. you will notice a subtle but nice increase in sound quality with the 192kbs stream.
i had typed all these instructions and lost it! tells you how much of a wizard i am...glad you got it, enjoy!!
