Hank, No it isn't. the Grace is a mid priced web radio that uses the Reciva
site to download the station URL'S into the radio. you have to set up an
account with Grace somehow too! Once you get the radio set up you can listen
to Pandora and Live 365 on it too!
I was going to write to Bud also, but I will tell you as well Hank, most of
the web radios I am familiar with use a rotary knob to adjust menus and type
in your password information into the radio. You have to turn for example to
small and large characters for WPA2 passwords, and they must be exact. the
character usually has to line up between a left bracket and right bracket
symbol so it can be selected by pressing in on the knob itself. if you have
a big 26 character password it can take a long time to put it in.
Without any audible feedback I don't know how we can tune in the station
before we can set a preset. even the solutions radio has to have your
password entered in the method I described above.
I read the manual for the C Crane WIFI radio that Bud mentioned and
determined that we would have to deal with the same pitfalls as with most
internet radios.

Hi Gang,
I'm looking for a webradio and read the article that Dane has written
about the squeezebox boom and it sounds great. However I see it on
Amazon at $500 which I can't afford. I also noticed one there called
Grace which sounds pretty good for about $170. Has anybody tried one of
these things and how successful was it as far as blind friendly. I
currently have a Sanyo W227 which is a great radio but not at all
accessible except for the eight presets.
I would appreciate any feedback on the Grace or any other in that price
range.
Thanks so much.
