Internet Radio - the basics
Before you can use your radio to listen to broadcasts via the Internet, it is
necessary to have connected it to your computer network using the wireless
(WiFi) connection.
There are literally many thousands of radio broadcasts available via
the Internet as well as 'Podcasts'. Your radio provides several ways of
searching for broadcasts in order to make finding and choosing them
easier. Once you have found the radio stations that you like, you may either
store them as presets within the radio, or add them to a list of your favourite
stations which your radio can access. The number of presets is limited (there
are ten presets on the radio) but you can store as many favourites as you
like.
You may search for an Internet radio station by Location. If you know the
name of the station and the country from which a station is broadcast
this may be the easiest method to find a station. It is also a great way to
experience radio from other parts of the world.
You may also search for an Internet radio station by Genre. If you prefer
a particular type of music, Blues for example, you may search for a radio
station that broadcasts that type of music, and you can choose from a list of
Blues radio stations regardless of location, or taking location into account.
If you know part of the name of an Internet radio station, you can enter it
into the radio and it will search for stations that match that name. This can
be helpful if you are unsure of the location or genre of a particular station.
The WFS-58 connects to a radio station database which serves many
users in many countries. This means that there is a very wide range of
programme content available. You can also search for stations which have
been recently added to those available (new stations) or you can search for
the most popular.
