We use the Sonos system (www.sonos.com) to distribute music — sourced from our internal music server and from internet radio — throughout our house (via ethernet and wireless).
After the utter demise of CBC Radio 2 in Canada in 2008, we were forced to change our radio listening habits (we still miss waking up to Tom Allen). The interface of the Sonos makes internet radio listening a joy, as both stations and shows can be easily bookmarked. As well, setting up the Sonus is dead simple: press two buttons et voilà.
Our current favourite internet radio stations for classical music include:
- BBC Radio 3 (www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/). Breakfast, CD Review, Through the Night, and Late Junction are our favourite shows.
- GotRadio Classic 60s (tunein.com/radio/GotRadio-Classic-60s-s65669/)
