After unzipping this file, copy the plexwebradio folder to your sd card. 
Now you should be able to listen to these stations on your plextalk pocket.

Hi Russ, thanks for the link to the FS podcast.  I listened to
most of it but kind of skipped past stuff I already new,
especially the first part.  I never heard Jonathan address
internet radio on it.  He only got as far as connecting it to his
WiFi and network, and downloading podcasts.  Yes, that file would
be great.  I think I may have mis-named my folder so the unit is
not responding correctly.  I also didn't use the transfer
software on the PC to set up my Plextalk to connect with my
router.  I did it manually from the unit.  I can connect to my
router via WiFi but that's it.  Can we talk on the air about
this, or via echolink? Thanks for any advice Russ, 73, Jim

I also have a file called plexwebradio with some 200 radio
stations I can
send your way.

I would love to learn how to use the Plextalk pocket to receive
internet radio.  Got as far as connecting it to my router but
that's it.  Jim

There is also the option of using the plextalk pocket.  It uses
wy-fi for
web radio.  it can be had from FS for $275.00.  I have one I use
for both
web radio and downloading and listening to podcasts.

A friend of mine is legally blind, 83 years old, and has no
intention of
learning how to run a computer.  Her radio station has left her
behind by
changing from classic country to top forty.  Like many people,
commercial
radio has abandoned her.
I see three wifi radios for sale on http://www.ccradio.com
Has anybody tried a radio like that, and how blind friendly is it
to
operate.  She has access to wifi, but as long as she feels a
radio under her
hands rather than a keyboard, she is happy.

I envy her her tranquility!
