The issue with those is that last I checked (about a year ago) none of them seemed to support IPv6.
It does now. Itās recommended in fact.
My main issue with it was that HD Tracks geoblocking mechanism changed and got real aggressive. Now it looks at your timezone and credit card too. So even VPN to my VM in California no longer works.

Possibly down to whatever service Iām using but Iāve no idea what service I was using as itās years ago. Iām not currently at home so canāt check either.
The Linn DSM is part of a multiroom setup not part of my main system, hence itās not listed.

The following is a direct quote from the TuneIn website. Which, to me, sums up why web radio in general is rubbish.
When the BBC makes its stations available on platforms such as ours, it asks that we have the listener sign into a BBC account to listen or for us to share data directly with them about what you listen to. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate these requests at this time.
There ARE better alternatives for TuneOut 
I wonder how that works with Naim thenā¦ I have opted out of all data sharing, and do not possess a BBC account. Yet I can listen to the BBC.
@Stevesky Is this something you could shed a light on? Thank you.
But we will irritate the heck out of you with ridiculous pre-roll advertsā¦
No thanks

Well thatās the problem, on a streamer you have the one option they give you. Or you can cast to the atreamer or link it to a computer to do what you wantā¦ Which defeats the point of radio as a accessible medium.
Old analogue broadcast didnāt give you a lot of choice. But it was hard to find something simpler than turn on and turn a dial. Literally no one on the planet could not use a old āwirelessā.
Now it is all considerations about which aggregator service you use; which app; do you need a VPN or not; do you need to log in; do you need to do airplay or cast; do you need to bolt on a PC to work around limitations of the streamer etc etc.
I use web radio via vTuner and TuneIn daily. But as someone who works in IT and sees the constant failure of use case applications to deliver benefit matching hyperbolic hype, I strongly feel that web radio still is missing the āspecial sauceāā¦ and maybe someone also forgot the eggs and baking powder too.

Iāll have to check and see if my DSM has Airable, it doesnāt ring any bells thoughā¦
You may need to add it in Manage Systems, but Iād be very surprised if you canāt get it.

@PeakMan Iām now back at home and I canāt find Airable anywhere in my Linn system settings etc.
My Linn is a Sekrit DSM so any pointers as to where and how I might be able to activate or add Airable would be appreciated.
I have just managed to find the Airable content via the web interface under the āMusicā tab and then āRadio Presets Providerā with a drop-down to switch between Tune-in and Airable.
I guess my nest step is to sign up for Airable.
Mine was set up when my dealer installed it. But if itās not enabled Iād go to the Explore tab in the app. Top right thereās a gear wheel. Tap this and you should get a list of possible sources including a section labelled Internet Radio. Top item in this list should be Airable and moving the slider next to this to the right should make Airable appear when you return to the Explore tab. Thatās how it works for me, at least.

Thanks Roger, out of interest, which [Linn] app are you using?
The Linn app on an iPad. Not Kazoo.
