WiFi Radio

dasickis · 03-25-2006, 04:02 PM

I've seen this before but I forgot where I found it but how can I create a radio that would find if there's a wifi connection (or bluetooth connection with my phone for internet through that) and then connect to http://www.real-ity.com/pandora (Pandora & Last.FM mashup) and then stream music that way? But I don't want to build a computer for that I want it to be powered by batteries so that I can carry it around and then get charged with batteries. It will have a display but maybe like a 3-5" LCD Screen so I have an idea of what's going on and what i'm listening to. Is this possible or is this all a dream?

I just tried it and it works for me maybe http://www.real-ity.com/pandora/ might work but I'm quite suprised. Let me know if this works for you now. Also, I just found out that I would have to use a computer probably a mini-itx with a netgear router: Wifi Boombox

But how would I be able to power this with a battery for some sort of "portability"?

The username and password are from your last.fm account (FYI: it's in plaintext) if you want the code I'll pull it up for you and you can host it on your own server if you would like. It's pretty good it just sends your Pandora listening habits with your Last.fm account.
