Pioneer looks like it's going to sound better, and has bluetooth which I can't see on the Roberts - very handy for playing stuff from your phone or whatever without having to mess with cables.
But the Roberts is a good bit smaller and cheaper...

Neither. The sound on this beast is amazing, oh and it looks good too

You didn't mention a CD player. You asked about an "internet radio/ streaming music player" .....

I asked which of the two i added links to i should go for.

Both have CD playing components.

I did not ask for alternatives, but thanks Frogmella for taking the time to post

Have a look at the Cocktail Audio X10, it plays all types of internet radio and will rip and store all your cds on it's internal HDD and has a built in 60 watt amp. I have had one for nearly 3 years and it's brilliant.

I'm going through a similar process at the moment.

I'm probably going to get this:-

Which is the baby brother of one of your choices. Though this has Bluetooth.

Roberts, generally, have a good reputation, though they may not be the geeky choice.

BTW I've had two false starts on this (two products bought from Argos and taken back). I would strongly recommend that you seek out an online copy of their manuals if any particular feature, or its usability is important to you.

now that is a nice bit of kit, but including speakers and wifi dongle takes it out of my budget by £100ish.

Still worth considering though. thanks
