Let’s face it, terestrial radio is all but dead. Who wants to wade through all the commercials and limited avalability of the FM or AM dial? I listen to internet radio all the time, when at work at my desk and even on my iPhone when in my car and this little baby while now [...]

Not happy with the limited ability of Apple’s remote control? Build yourself your very own by using an Arduino.
