Pure Evoke Flow (new toy!)0

This is my new radio. It’s a DAB wifi radio which is great because no only can it get the high quality DAB stations but it can also pick up thousands of internet channels. I’ve hardly used the DAB radio, i’m hooked on Internet Radio! My favourite channel at the moment is 1.FM Chillout Lounge.

The other thing you can do is stream music stored on your PC to your radio wirelessly. I just tell the radio where to find my Music hard drive and i can access it all on the radio. Hoorah! You also get to join The Lounge website, here you can organise your favourite internet channels (for example i have a folder called decades and within that the 80′s channel, 70′s channel, etc etc). Then when you switch your radio on it recognises the changes you made on the website and you can now access all of your fave organised web stations on your radio. Again – Hoorah!

Ooh and it’s also an alarm clock, the snooze button is cool, it’s the handle, just give the handle a tap and it goes into snooze mode. I bought the optional rechargeable battery too so it can come out into the garden with me especially on these lovely summer days. Very very pleased with it and i highly recommend it to anyone looking for a radio with a shed load of options!

Well i’ve been playing with it for a few days now and i am really pleased with it. The sound that comes from it is out of this world. I’m mostly using it as an internet radio and for streaming music from my PC’s hard drive. I wish there was a way of it grabbing music from an external networked hard drive though so i don’t have to leave the pc on all day.

For anyone who has googled the radio and found this article – if you bought the optional battery and are having problems, it’s not faulty! I found when i switched radio off whilst unplugged from the mains with the battery in it was shutting off completely rather than going into standby, and it wouldn’t turn back on. Well actually it will turn back on, you just hold in the on/off button for a few seconds. Gawd.

I might but the optional remote control next because the menu system on the radio isn’t the easiest to navigate. It’s not as nightmarish as some have said but it takes some getting used to and a remote control would speed things up a bit. Might save a few sticky finger print marks on the piano black finish as well! Anyway, I LOVE IT!
