Internet radio devices can be divided into several product categories:
- Products which are mainly targeted at listening to music stored on a local network. These devices are usually called network music players. These devices are usually sold with server software in order to play the music from the network. Examples of such devices are the Slim Devices Squeezebox, Roku SoundBridge and the Philips Streamium WACS700 and SLA5520. Some of these devices also have the ability to listen to Internet radio stations. As these devices may not have an integrated loudspeaker, they need to be connected to an audio system in order to listen to the music. These devices usually have an Ethernet and/or Wi-Fi network interface.
- Standalone products like the Squeezebox, Reciva, SoundBridge Radio, Streamit or the Phoenix WiFi radio Internet radio devices which are targeted at users who do not want to be dependent on a computer (or computer knowledge) for their Internet radio listening. Most products include a dynamically updated stations list. There are variants of these devices with and without integrated speaker(s). They normally connect to the Internet via the user's broadband connection using an integrated Ethernet and/or Wi-Fi network interface.
Internet radio (aka e-Radio) is an audio broadcasting service transmitted via the Internet. Broadcasting on the Internet is usually referred to as webcasting since it is not transmitted broadly through wireless means but is delivered over the World Wide Web.
