Best Wi-Fi radios

For many people, local AM/FM radio is essentially unlistenable, but paying a monthly fee for a satellite radio subscription isn't attractive, either. Fortunately, there are thousands of radio stations available on the Internet that aren't lame and don't cost any money. These include Internet-only stations, radio stations from other countries, and even many AM/FM radio stations in the U.S. simulcast online. Wi-Fi radios tap into this resource by giving you access to all the content on the Web via a tabletop radio you can tune in to wherever you get a Wi-Fi signal.

While the products below have similar (or even identical) functionality to network music players such as Sonos, Apple TV, and the Logitech Squeezebox Duet, we differentiate these as Wi-Fi radios because they all have built-in speakers and don't require a PC to work.
