The Grace Wireless Internet Radio combines one of the oldest forms of electronic entertainment with new media. The tabletop unit plays Internet radio stations, accessing them through your home Wi-Fi network.
That gives you thousands of listening choices—simulcasts of traditional over-the-air broadcasts from around the world and Internet-only stations in programming niches you’ll never find on an FM dial. And, unlike satellite radio service, the content requires no access fee.
The Grace radio interacts especially well with Pandora (pandora.com), a popular Web service that helps you build customized music stations. Pandora suggests tracks based on songs you’ve already indicated you like. You can also use the wireless Grace to play podcasts from the Web or mp3 files stored on your computer, provided it’s on the same Wi-Fi network as the Grace.
Buy the Grace Wireless ($200) at gracedigitalaudio.com, Best Buy, and other major retailers.
