7.2 Internet radio – a whole new world of radio!
In chapter 1, we already introduced the impressive Internet radio capabilities of your
ALLSOUND III! The big advantage of the ALLSOUND III over the time-honored way of
listening to Internet radio via your computer's web browser is that your ALLSOUND III can
tap into the full variety of the Internet WITHOUT relying on your computer—by connecting
directly to the router that provides your Internet access.

Caution—transfer volume!
Please keep in mind that constantly listening to Internet
radio stations will result in the transfer of an enormous data volume over the course of a
month. Your contract with your Internet service provider may be subject to a volume limit.
Exceeding this limit can result in massive extra charges. We therefore recommend using
an Internet access plan without volume restrictions. On the other hand, the actual
bandwidth used varies strongly from one station to the next. As you already know from
MP3 files, the bit rate is decisive for sound quality—a higher bit rate results in better
sound, but also in a greater data volume.
The RSDB – Radio Station Database
The list of radio stations stored in ALLSOUND III is provided and maintained by an
exclusive vTuner premium service. The service ensures that you always have a fresh,
reliable selection of stations despite the continuous changes in the Internet radio world.
Depending on the settings you selected in the configuration menu, the ALLSOUND III
either automatically contacts the vTuner for updates daily. Simply use the usual controls
to navigate the presorted station list. If you find something you like, press the preset
storage button
and a number button
…
to store the station and access it
by pressing that number button in the future.
The procedure described below for expanding the list of available radio stations online is
also used as a convenient way of editing the ALLSOUND III's Favorites list.
