Rupertdacat Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 As I type this I am listening to the live 128kbps MP3 audio stream from WKCR (Columbia Univ.). This digital stream (available from the radio station's website) is bypassing my nothing special computer soundcard, undergoing digital to analog conversion outside the (electrically) noisy computer environment, and being amplified and transduced by my Tivoli Audio Model One table radio. It sounds quite good. Bridging the computer and the Tivoli Model One is a "Squeezebox" device ($250 - $300, slimdevices.com) At the input end, the Squeezbox connects to one's computer (or network) via either ethernet cable or wirelessly. At the output end, the Squeezebox connects to one's audio system via either digital cable (to a DAC) or analog cable (to an amp). Lest this sound complicated, rest assured; if I could set this up, so could you. Allow me to repeat myself- IT SOUNDS GOOD! Rupe Quote
.:.impossible Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 I have a squeezebox. It is a whole new world out there. Radio streaming from everywhere! Still trying to figure out how to program rostasi in there, but... I don't know... squeezenetwork still sounds like internet radio to me. I'm loving the squeezebox though. Quote

alocispepraluger102 Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 can the amended stream be recorded? Quote
Rupertdacat Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Posted February 20, 2007 can the amended stream be recorded? The Squeezebox has no capability to record a stream. Rupe Quote
