Default Internet Radio

I'm probably asking a stupid obvious question but is there something I can use to add my favourite radio stations on the computer then output it to my hifi?

Yes, I probably should know this as I work with HiFi/AV but really I have no interest in internet/computer stuff in general.

Apple Airport Express. Use iTunes Radio, it's brilliant.

Cheers Jack, I have a USB Dac for my PC so I assume I don't actually need airport express but can just use iTunes radio?

OK so as you have a PC you will need to sell it, buy a **** load of Apple gear and use iTunes with Airport Express!

Alternatively go to Maplin and spend £2.50 on a lead

I have a lead from my Airport to my HiFi, trailing one from my office to man cave just isn't pretty.

Guys, I've been happily using Itunes for internet radio but I can't work out how I can selection some of the stations to put in a sort of "favourites list", is this possible?

If not is there a program that will do it?

Create a Playlist and drag your favourites into it.
