Yes, of course is not hifi. Not in any dreams, but for the price, being 2 orders of magnitude less money, impressive. Also in comparison with old little radios, much much much better.

I bought a Yamaha CD-N301, came with a web radio, where you could setup a user, and make an index of URIs with webradios. After that you could select the station from a menu in the front. 3 months after purchase, the service started costing

Sorry I wanted to mean “it was pointed out”. I’m not sure of the connotation of “call out” Thanks for citing the report, which I was too lazy to do. That is my point, as I was replying to “it is just one button” comment. If you do the proce

Not really, at least not everywhere. If you live away of sea, you will bot be inclined to eat seafood, also will be expensive. There are many cultures in which the diet does not have enough iodine.
