I listen to the regular CBC Radio 2 on my radio, but use my ipod setup to listen to the 4 additional CBC Radio 2 streams that are available as online radio stations (jazz, classical, singer-songwriter, and Canadian composer).

Just look at what one reader is listening to - Radio 2! Were you thinking that people in Toronto would prefer to listen to Texas radio or German newscasts or the BBC rather than the CBC? That's not how things work. People are interested in their immediate (ie local) surroundings. People in Vancouver read the Vancouver Sun before they read the Toronto Star. And very few spend time with The Guardian or the New York Post. Paul, the reality is that these radios will have virtually no impact whatsoever.

This is a corporate site, paid for by the CBC. Is it too much to ask that if you want the publics attention that the writer would take a moment to re-read before posting? The odd spelling mistake (such as with my name) is easily over-looked, but the numerous mistakes in sentences shows laziness and a disrespect for the readers. You invite us to spend time contemplating an issue, but cannot yourself be bothered to make the posting legible. Tony is subsequently also not concerned with making it any easier to read his response. We see that wasting peoples time is someone's idea of fun. There are alternatives to buying an internet radio, such as the Airport Express. But the best device of all is the iPhone and the many applications available to bring in stations from around the world, including full TV broadcasts.

I think these internet radio sets will impact the industry because they make it easy to find and listen to internet radio, while unhooked them from computers. Hey Angela,

Add the ability to timeshift, import and export, and I might even retire my thirty-year-old receiver - which has a Slimp3 plugged into it..

You can take an audio feed from your computer to your audio system if a) they are next to each other b) you have long cables and a big drill These little radios work anywhere in the house, garage or yard that has wi-fi and they have audio out so you can feed it into your audio amplifier/reciever. I think they are cool. Angela,

He said he spent $4.99. I'm sure he bought the iPod to listen to other things too. Don't be so picky dude! I never worry too much about grammer in blogs. If you do you may want to rethunk your priorities.

I just saw one of these internet radios in action. I really liked it and I am thinking of buying it for my wife and daughter, so they can listen to Asian music from back home. The one I was was a Sanyo. It was $199 in the store but Dell.ca has it for $169 with da free shippin. :-) Hi Allen,

Really? How long has radio3 been doing its internet radio thing? At least a year right? And Radio 2 has had internet radio since September 2008, and we're really close to putting up the rest of the CBC live streams as well. I think we're well into the morning, looking at lunch time with internet radio. Open up your iTunes Internet Radio Directory, Paul and check out the thousands (I kid you not) of Internet Radio stations available, and you will see at least 5 that are all CBC! “The Dawn”? Really?

Paul, it's great that you're writing a blog like this, but you really need to re-read these posts before printing all these scrambled sentences.

I plug my ipod touch into a dock attached to my stereo, and then using a $4.99 app, use it to connect to various radio streams. It lets me listen to the CBC radio 2 streams in my kitchen.
