perhaps not as all the stations are on the net, nut it would a useful backup so to speak if (and it has happened) my intertnet goes south!
i dont store/use music on pc at all at the mo as my pc is a bit past it and i am loath to speand lots of money on a pc that will quickly be out of date and i will need to spend endless hours trying to figure out (luddite.....me....nooo :-)
the reason i want internet radio is that i like the ease of use etc of DAB but am aware that its quality is compromised wrt FM so i see internet radio as offering the best of both worlds (i hope)
i will look into the models you suggested, cheers
EDIT: am i right in thinking that both the squeezebox have to have you PC on all the time to work?
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
