Computer Based Radio
I'm in a poor reception area for radio, but can get almost any radio program I want through my computer. Problem is, I can't turn the sound up high enough and I can't move the "radio" around the hous...

All of the TABLETs we have also are great RADIO INTERNET tools... Of course you will need a WIFI signal but they also tune in all of the RADIO INTERNET audio streams.
The small HP type computers are best at doing this as you can TAB-UP several streaming audio links at the same time like for using the RADIO SCANNER links. The TABLETS all seem to only do one at a time type of thing.
I have a portable speaker sound setup in my TRUCK CONSOLE and have a MOUNT there for my DROID cellphone. I listen to the RADIO SCANNER APP all the the time doing this. Nice and loud coming off my portable speaker setup...
When I am parked waiting on the wife when shopping I am all setup with my internet radio audio links.. I have a couple of STEREO plugs adapters where I can plug at least four audio phone cables into devices all using the same portable speaker. My truck has the SIRIUS RADIO in it but with all the amps and things that goes with will run down my truck battery pretty quick when in ACC mode. I tend not to use that when waiting for a long period of time. I do miss not listening to WILLYs ROADHOUSE on Sirius Radio however... I got bunches of AA batteries to use up without killing my way back home hehe...
If I run into a NO WIFI area I can either setup one up with my DROID or use my VERIZON MIFI setup to create my own WIFI HOT SPOT.
Always got a PLAN B hehe...
