Wireless internet radio

[Concordia]

Thinking about not replacing a fried FM tuner, but substituting something that can get radio stations from the internet. (We do have a wireless router in our house.)

What sort of boxes are out there, either freestanding radios or tuners for conventional stereo systems? I gather that the ability to link to a PC is desirable in some quarters, but I don't want to need one. I'm a bit of a Luddite.

Sangean makes a nice internet radio; so does Logitech. Tivoli Networks is also good, but I prefer the display on the Logitech, and the Logitech is less expensive. All of them function as stand-alone radios and all have line out capabilities as a component.
