Music on Hold-Internet Radio source

[BCM400Noob]

I see a very old thread from 2004 mentioning this, but is anyone doing this now? It looks like plenty of devices out there that used to do this but it seems like many have been discontinued. I'd prefer to NOT use a computer but a separate device.

Thank you.

Buy a cheap smartphone....

You'll almost certainly need a public broadcast licence for this too, in the UK it's a PRS licence for example

We use Sirius/XM for business (fully licensed) and one of their players. Works like a champ every day. Can change "channel", control volume, etc via browser. $25/mo +/- in US. This is used for background music in professional offices as well.

Thank you for the responses.

Smartphone or ipod touch is a good idea. Any other appliance recommendations would be appreciated as I would prefer hardwired rather than wifi.

I don't need a license, it is my content, but broadcast from another location.

We used to be on XM but we dropped them.

thank you.

You could go really cheap with a raspberry pi, throw whatever the raspberry ubuntu flavor is out for it, and stream from there. They're like $35.
