“And it does media streaming from your own PC server or your “NAS box”, whatever the hell one of those is.”

That’ll be the big terabyte RAID device with the noisy fan we all have in the corner of our rooms, sitting next to the robot that does the vacuum cleaning and the fridge with an internet display on the front.

Good on Pure for making something new though - they obviously need to compete with all the Wifi radios that are knocking around now, what with them having access to several thousand stations, podcasts, Listen Againe etc.

James. Were u enjoying a beer while posting this entertaining and wonderfully catty post?! Sounds like some people are just starting to think outside the box at last but sadly still a long way to go. Great update.

Thanks for this.

Its nice to see that Pure are putting Linux into the mix. If they opened the little box up for others to build upon … wow.

I like how Fru had to say that GCap were bigger than last.fm.

A few years ago it would be obvious that a commercial radio group would be bigger than an internet station. Now it’s become notable. How the internet changes things…
