I don't know of any portable players that support flac files personally. Not
all M3U or PLS files will work on the Bookports or Plextalk machines, so it
it a matter of trial and error!

to be clear, the BPP portable unit times out on streams that do not
play. It seems the unit described was the desktop version. While the
BPP has no list of stations like the new generation Stream, one can go
to Shoutcast and TuneIn and download M3u or PLS files of the streams
and copy them to the unit.
Many say the recorder on the BPP is clearly superior to the one on the
new generation Stream. Dane is insistent though that he must have
support for FLAC files.

Ad for the Victor StreamNew Generation, I like the one I have.
It works for most every kind of stream except flash. I was surprised to
learn the player supports AAC streams, which the Plextalk and APH units
don't and probably never will.
If the stream doesn't play, it will say something like, stream failed to
start, by the same token however, The Plextalk and Aph players get locked
up when the stream won't play, so you have to fiddle with it or get
disgusted with it enough that you remove the battery and Wait a few
minutes
so you can start the players again. It is not always feasible to carry a
little screwdriver with you to take the battery out of the Bookport
Desktop.

Works well with most networks, providing they don't use a web
interface, and support the most commin radio streams. You can read the
manual from the humanware site or press and hold key one to read as
you would with the older model.

Okay I'm swallowing my pride, I've ordered a victor Reader Stream -
current
model, I have one of the older versions which I really should put in the
recycle bin without any further ado -.
So, I know many of you have these devices, is there anything I should
look
for in particular? Are their any features or functions that are really
useful or that you really like? How well does the Internet radio work?
Of course the only thing that might annoy me is the fact that I probably
won't be able to get the Stream going behind my VPN? Well I'm going on
assumption at the moment <smile>.
