Internet radio - Suggestions/Recomendations

Being in an area where I am never likely to get DAB, I am looking to get an internet radio.

I already have an in-home wifi network (so that's step 1 done!), but I'd be interested in reccomendations of WHICH internet radios to look at (and why)

I must admit, there don't seem to be too many on the market in the UK, but I am sure there are more than the 2 I have already found.

As a minimum, I'd prefer the cost to be no more than around �100 (or so), preferably stereo and an alarm that can wake me up to a chosen station would be nice too

All suggestions welcome

Thanks

What about listening to the radio via your PC or laptop?

I do it all the time.

Or do you want something small you can take in the bathroom or garden or whatever.

I wanted something more like a clock radio or stand-alone radio and MUCH less like a pc!

Something portable would be even nicer, but I think I am out of luck there

If anyone is following this, I bought a Magicbox Imp (http://www.aqdab.com/store/en/view_product/14/ 1946/)

It was ridiculously easy to set up, even with my hidden SSID and protected MAC address wi-fi setup

It's definately addictive - In fact my wife as purloined it as a new kitchen radio so I am STILL looking for something for the bedroom :( Possibly another Imp is looming in our future!
You might use this Internet radio player at http://internet-radio-player.com/
It's free and quite good on the whole. I've been listening to radio on the web for 2 weeks now and like it.
It's a good background while working on a laptop.
