Bonjour Chris; The Beoport works very well, but alas, it does need to be connected to a PC. Not necessarily your laptop if you are mobile and take the laptop around with you. Internet radio is only one of it's features; It really acts as a bridge between your computer and your B&O system. Stored or downloaded music, local or internet radio,

The Luxury Institute ? Oh yes, I remember now. It's right next to the Ministry of Silly Walks, right off Bowery Boulevard, at Twit Avenue.
