Many of you seem to be IT whizzos and I'm wondering if anyone can help with this query? We live in Malaysia where shortwave radio reception isn't that good, so when we listen to the BBC World Service its often very crackly. I'm considering getting broadband at home and one of the reasons is to listen to the world service on the Internet.
My first questions is -- is reception good through a broadband connection?
And second -- are there any devices, maybe like an MP3 player that will let you listen to the radio via the Internet without using the computer? If possible, I'd like to be able to listen to the world service in bed, not in my study downstairs....
Anyway, thats all for ridiculous requests on a Saturday night. Eagerly awaiting replies, though....
