Setting up an online radio is not so easy

I have a problem and wanted to ask your advice. In Canada I have a 90-year-old grandmother who has never been on the internet. With failing eyesight, I think she would very much enjoy the radio programmes available over the Net. What kind of device could do the job? Is there a simple internet radio available.

Radio has come a long way on the internet and there was a flurry of activity a few years ago to create an internet radio appliance. If you do a search for such a device, you will get quite a few hits.

What is worrying about those hits, however, is that they all seem to be at least two years old. One of the most promising of these was something called Kerbonga but that seems to have disappeared a few years ago.

There are others such as Penguinradio that look as if they may be what you want but again the links are a little too old.
