OK, so we have donated our good stereo system to one of the sons, and
now the cheap old mini or micro system that "she" listens to her CD's on
in the lounge skips on a regular basis.
It is very old, and attempting to clean the laser hasn't worked. There
are other faults as well, so I've been looking for something to replace
it in time for Christmas.
I've found something affordable that provides the 2 separate speakers,
plus a box that plays CD's, tablet sources etc via bluetooth, and FM,
DAB and wifi internet radio.

I listen to internet radio quite a bit on computers, and usually find
stations via IP addresses or resolving the name. On an Android phone,
there are offerings, but many seem to be offered via combining services
with added adverts and lesser quality.

How does this work on an "internet radio" radio? Am I correct in
guessing that the radio is locked to one (of several?) database service
that translates each station name into the correct parameters for
reception and this is then stored in the radio's memory associated with
a specific preset button?
