Both versions are a steal for what you get. Newegg has the WL-500g Premium V2 for $50 after rebate (normally $80). The higher end WL-500g has more memory and flash and an integrated USB 2.0 hub (2 external ports). Newegg has the WL-520GU for an incredible $26 after rebate (normally $50).
Consumer wireless routers like the Asus WL-500gP v2 and WL-520GU – builtin wireless (yay!), USB, 240MHz Broadcom 5354 core, decent RAM and flash, cheap. No wireless and price is stunning for what you get, but overkill for this project ($150). TI‘s Beagle Board – Incredible featureset including DVI output and a 600MHz ARM Cortex core. No wireless and relatively steep pricetag ($160). The Tin Can Tools Hammer – very impressive ARM9-based board with USB, lots of RAM and flash, lots of IO, and best of all the footprint of a 40-pin DIP package (breadboard compatible!). There are quite a few embedded Linux platforms out there, with a wide variety of prices and features. To me, “Ease of development” equals Linux, so I wanted something well supported by Linux and an active open source development community. #Shoutcast nicecast not authorized Pc#
The size and cost aspects pushed me towards an embedded system instead of a small form factor PC like any of Shuttle’s XPC offerings or a nano-ITX board.
Some extra IO for a control panel and display. Sufficient system resources (CPU, memory, etc.) to decode MP3s. How do these requirements translate into hardware? Let’s take a stab at what features we’d like in an embedded platform. #Shoutcast nicecast not authorized portable#
Small size so it can be portable (no desktop PC’s allowed!). Cheap, priced below a commercial streaming radio – target < $100. There are two additional requirements that I implied in the first post but forgot to include explicitly: Simple user interface, using standard radio controls (volume, tune, etc). A display to indicate the station and currently playing song. 
Audio output (preferably 44kHz, 16 bit stereo). Wireless connectivity through existing Wifi network. Before we get started, let’s review the requirements list from last time. Now it’s time to start looking at what hardware can make this project a reality. In part one, I discussed the merits of streaming internet radio and the motivations for my Wifi Radio project. if you haven’t already, check out part one for some background about the project. #Shoutcast nicecast not authorized series#
This is the second part of an ongoing series about building a low cost, open source streaming internet radio.
