Would you like to be able to listen to SmoothJazzChicago.net without having to use your computer or mobile device? Well, a Wi-Fi radio (also commonly referred to as an internet radio or smart radio) might be just the thing.
These devices will allow you to stream internet radio stations throughout the world, including SmoothJazzChicago.net, simply by connecting them to your internet service over Wi-Fi or via a wired Ethernet connection, putting aside the hassle of booting up your computer or installing mobile apps. Wi-Fi radios have an average retail cost around $200, offer a myriad of other features and come in a multitude of different designs to best fit your needs.
Standalone models, such as the Logitech UE Smart Radio will not only fit perfectly in any room of your home or office but can also be taken from room to room, wherever you’d like, as long as they remain within the range of your Wi-Fi connection.
Component style models, such as the Grace Tuner Pro, can be easily integrated into your existing home theater or stereo system and often include features such as an AM/FM or satellite radio tuner. Grace offers a wide array of Wi-Fi radio devices and also offers a wide selection of refurbished products for listeners on a budget.
When first setting up your Wi-Fi radio, you’ll likely need to enter the link for our direct stream: http://provisioning.streamtheworld.com/pls/WSJCDBAAC.pls. While our “Listen Live” web player provides an easy and efficient way to listen to the station on your computer, the direct stream of our station provides listeners with an additional means of listening to the station on Wi-Fi radios, older computers, and other devices. If you’ve browsed around our site recently, you might have noticed the addition of a new page under the “On Air” tab entitled “Device Streaming”, the direct stream link can also be found there.
If you’d like any help with choosing or setting up an internet radio or have any other questions, never hesitate to send me an email. Also, we’re always interested in hearing about your experience with sound and computer gear and equipment, especially when it comes to enhancing your online listening pleasure. Whenever you get something new, we’d appreciate your letting us know how it’s working out for you, so feel free to send a message to me ([email protected]) or Rick O’Dell ([email protected]).
Stay Smooth,
Danny Rigioni
