Question about Pure Elan Connect
Does anyone know if you can still use the internet radio if Pure stops their internet radio service? (For example, this happened to one of my colleagues with her new Medion radio). Or can you manually enter a https:// address to open your own desired streams? I didn't find anything about this in the manual, so I think the answer is rather no.
Helpful answer
In the meantime I own such a radio and unfortunately I have to confirm that you cannot enter addresses yourself and are therefore dependent on the Pure Radio servers. Maybe I will try what happens if I block the server address to simulate a server failure. I would then give an update
Addendum: The radio connects (with the current firmware) to airableassets-cdn.wifiradiofrontier.com and airable.wifiradiofrontier.com. If this server is not accessible, no station list can be retrieved and there is a network error. What still works are the favourites and the "last heard" list, which can still be listened to.
So if the service were to be terminated some time in the future, the internet radio part of this unit could become useless.
Please don't misunderstand: nothing like this has been announced - but you never know.
