You can listen to Internet radio from around the globe on a Logitech Squeezebox player, but did you know that you can also access all of your favorite local stations, as well? Watch the demo below to find out how easy it is to access everything from your favorite morning show to your local NPR station.

But Logitech can’t listen to their own customer’s through e-mail or support forums…

Having access to radio stations across the country has been great for catching football games that are not being broadcast locally. Nice addition.

I want to listen to local stations and set a few up as favorites, however, my Squeezebox thinks my location is in Grand Junction, rather than Denver. How do you change the location the unit uses for Local Stations?

Hi John P,
We use a widely shared geo-location table that maps IP addresses to locales. As you’ve discovered (and I’ve encountered myself at my office) sometimes the table gives strange results. However, you can create an account with Radiotime (www.radiotime.com) and give them your zip code. Add your radiotime account credentials to mysqueezebox.com and you’ll always get the stations that match your zip code. Of course you can use the search feature to find your city or zip code and then use the presets to save your favorite local stations.
