There is one radio station which I could listen to all day and that is XFM London (http://www.xfm.co.uk/). That station and their music must be near the top of the things I miss the most since I don't live in the UK anymore. | |

As of yet, I've not been able to listen to their stream as they choose to hide it behind Javascript, player detection, referer checks and other crap instead of just putting the address up. I tried various things, including [[http://www.xfm.co.uk/messageboard/default.asp?sub=show&action=posts&fid=8&tid=238142|posting in their forums]], but to no avail. | |

**UPDATE:** Looks like you could build something for your car using an [[http://www.pcengines.ch/alix1d.htm|ALIX.1d board]] and a wifi adapter and a smartphone which supports tethering. Let me know if that works! | **UPDATE** Looks like you could build something for your car using an [[http://www.pcengines.ch/alix1d.htm|ALIX.1d board]] and a wifi adapter and a smartphone which supports tethering.
