Linn DS Radio
Introduction
Cara 6 firmware (2009) sees the introduction of a dedicated radio source for all Linn DS devices. TuneIn Radio (previously RadioTime) is the selected radio provider. Radio stations are stored and selected for playback as Presets. You are allowed a maximum of 100 presets per device.
