Tivoli announces NetWorks WiFi radios

Tivoli, well known for its small and classy wood-framed AM/FM radio systems, is branching out into the world of internet radio with two new models called the NetWorksGo and NetWorks Table Radio. As the names suggest, one is a portable (and by portable we mean about the size of a car battery), while the other is, obviously, meant for desktop use. The new models will stream MP3, WMA and Real Audio using WiFi or an Ethernet connection, and stations will come from a pre-selected list provided by the company, although according to reports, users need only "send Tivoli an e-mail" to have a station added to the device. No word yet on pricing, but they should be available later this year.

No AAC? What a waste.

I am curious which list of radio stations this device uses. I have the Acoustic Energy WiFi radio device and it uses the Reciva list. That list is pretty exhaustive, the only problem is that there are SO many radio stations, the way the AE devices searches takes some time to find the radio station you want. If this device has the reciva list and a better search method then I would be very impressed.

This sure is a pleasant surprise! Some months ago, i emailed them to see if they had plans for an Internet radio. They said no, but that they would pass my idea on to their engineers.

Hello Joshua,

I would like to address your comment regarding a “pre-selected” list of stations available to our new NetWorks and NetWorksGo internet radios. Tivoli Audio has no interest in controlling what stations, or content, the owners of our products listen to. The statement about stations being “added” to a “list” is a reference to how these products’ firmware organizes and navigates the complex network of 12,000+ internet radio stations in a way that is seamless to the end user. Our goal is to present the world of internet radio to our customers in its entirety so they may choose what stations and content they enjoy.

All The Best,
Jeff Myers
Tivoli Audio
