Singapore Expats

Hello everyone,

I would really like to listen to some London radio stations (and maybe others). I thought it would be as easy as popping into my local BEST Denki and asking them for a DAB Digital radio set... except they had no idea what I was talking about and offered me an mp3 player instead.

Does anyone know what the best way is get radio stations from abroad? I don't want to use my PC which is kinda what I have been doing because the sound quality isn't good enough.

Anyone know where I can get information about Digital Radios or even buy them in Singapore? or maybe I would be better off asking someone to bring one over from London?

I'd really appreciate any help or advice... because I just cannot get on with 80's music!

oh deja vu,,, you need internet radio, DAB works but you get local stations, if that is what you want no worries, but if you want london radio or other you have to get internet radio, we have one, I love it

Hi,


I went to Tangs and got the lowdown - they pointed me in the direction of Sony across the road with their WorldBand radio which sounded pretty similar and doesn't do what I need.

I've never heard of an internet radio before - that sounds just like the ticket!!

I'm loathed to go to Sim Lim though - the price is ok if it means we can listen to what we like.

Thanks so much for your help - do you think you could give details of the specific radio you have and exactly where you bought it from in Sim Lim - that place makes my head spin and I'm really not at all technical, which is basically the reason for the post in the first place.

Thanks again,
Amelia
