Lately I have been converting my CDs to FLAC files for to have it all available for a Logitech Squeezebox ( the musicbox you always dreamed of).
[ So if you have questions on which SW to use for conversion and tagging, just ask. There exist very good ones as shareware.]
Getting my brain wrapped around this highly versatile music playing device and how to fire it up while the online initializing was impossible because of websites blocked from here ( no pun intended ) required extensive research on the internet.
It showed that many of the squeezebox hi-fi aficionados have terrabytes of FLACs in their collections.
That would be many thousands of ripped CD albums and I doubt that they had all so largely invested into discs.
There exist internet suppliers who led you select what you want. Most are working on legal subscription.
If I understood that correctly one can not only listen but also download the stream.
However, I havn´t tried yet eventhough the Squeezebox being capable of receiving. ( The local internet throughput wouldn´t suffice anyway, I suppose.)
I guess any internet radio connectable to your computer should do, but you better make sure about it first.
You might find the answer on corresponding forums.
