Am I wrong about the product name? It was specifically a stand alone |
| 17 |
Internet radio player. It looks like a clock radio almost that sits by |
| 18 |
the bed. I'm not finding it on their site now. Wonder if they |
| 19 |
discontinued it? Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong company. It used to |
| 20 |
show up on the Pandora site but I don't see it there either. |

Anyway, I should have stated that he has almost no interest in |
| 23 |
listening to music. He wants to listen to news form around the world. |
| 24 |
BBC, NPR and whatever he can find. |

I was looking at Amarok 2 based on your other thread and that reminded |
| 27 |
me about this topic. I didn't want to hijack that thread though. |

What keywords are required to get Amarok 2 to build? I'm not clear |
| 30 |
what ~*2.0.1.1 means. |

Thanks, |
