I've been thinking about buying an internet radio for I like to listen to shows without thinking about it while surfing on the web or cleaning up. Of course I don't want it to run from my laptop or computer every time I want to listen. But the devices I've seen range from €50-200 so frighting. Then I was thinking about streaming from my phone but that doesn't work either since it will eat up my battery.
Second thought was Chromecast audio, that should be my savior right? I've checked but the Chromecast audio would also require a soundbox so that means an extra thing to buy and extra electricity uses. Think, think wouldn't something else be better like the AI's from Amazon and Google?
I searched online how both the Google home mini and Alexa dot 3rd generation works. Would it be able to listen internet radio. Because I'm already a bit familiar with the Google environment I would prefer the Mini instead of the Dot. I know that both of them are basically listening into my home environment but since I can always unplug it I'm not that afraid.
After searching online about the Dot3 and Mini I decided to go for the Dot since it also had easier buttons to manage the device instead of the Mini. Considering it will be used by an a-technical mom it would be great to use the voice assistant to ask for the radio to be played instead of using the mobile app.
The nightmare starts now when I wanted to order it from the site. I went to the familiar amazon.de and it didn't ship to the Netherlands so I went to the amazon.fr and on this site the Dot3 isn't available until March 2019. This was so terrible since I finally found a solution to my problem.
This situation is really frustrating since I really want to have it!
