I love the music played by KCDX http://kcdx.com/listenOnline.php and even more so by "Gulch Radio" http://community.loudcity.com/stations/the-gulch.
BUT, I cannot get radio reception on KCDX OR "The Gulch (which is an AM station in Jerome), both of which are commercial-free, BTW; so I have always been tied to my office (wherein lies the 'puter) when I wanted to listen to them at home. (In the truck KCDX comes in OK most places)

So, what to do?

I bought one of these and can now listen to these, and any other streaming online stations (of which there are thousands) broadcasted to any radio within range. (essentially the house/garage/back yard).
You may also use it to play all the music that you have stored on your 'puter. (Good for parties & the like - put your whole music library on "shuffle")

It ain't perfect, sound quality wise, but it is VERY good... I give it an 8.5. (BTW - if you end up with one, I found that 107.3 is the best setting)

I think I just found my answer to the missing link in my backyard.
Have you had this long? (and any problems?)

The feed quality and content from kcdx was quit good. The Gulch feed was not as good or maybe I don't like Elvis Costello but I listened to the first one for some time. Great tunes.

I listen to KCDX too, but occasionally it doesn't come in. But I am a channel surfer so I guess it doesn't really matter. I'll have to check out the other station, hadn't heard that one.
