Linn DS Radio
Introduction
Cara 6 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.
Initial Setup
- Your Linn DS device must be running Cara 6 firmware or higher. Click here for information on updating (using Linn Konfig)
- Initially every Linn DS device is linked to the Linn Worldwide TuneIn Radio account. The first three presets in this account are high quality radio stations hosted by Linn Records (Linn Radio, Linn Classical, and Linn Jazz)
- To add your own Tunein Account press the toggle button highlighted below, and enter you Tunein Account name
- Linn provide a number of regionalised TuneIn Radio accounts as well. You can select the relevant account from Linn Konfig (version 3.6 or higher).

You can create and customise your own list of radio presets using TuneIn Radio.
