Re: [Swprograms] OT: Future of Digital Radio
An interesting article, thanks for drawing attention to it.
The core problem they are addressing is how to make Internet radio
usable to the mainstream listener.
From a volume manufacturer's perspective (as against a badge
engineering company), being locked into another directory provider
(such as Reciva) is limiting and runs the risk that the reputation of
your product and brand is linked to this third party service.
Also Reciva, while being very usable for the technically literate
fails the "can my elderly mother use it" test. My mother has a DAB
radio made by Pure which she likes because it's so easy to use, if
they can get a user interface to internet radio that is as simple to
use as the DAB set they will have enabled internet radio to go
mainstream.
All my mother would then require is broadband !
