Some people enjoy the random variety that radio stations offer, but the device that only plays tracks that one can't select isn't faring well in the information age. The Rivulet Radio is a compelling concept that retains the familiar benefits of the conventional station-based program, but it also offers listeners a way to make the notion of choice music to their ears.
In their concept, Meng-ping and Funfere BodioWei have incorporated a way for people to create, customize and share their own channels that they can stream from their own Rivulet Radio device and allow others to do the same. Integrated Wi-Fi and bluetooth technologies enable the easy transfer of .mp3 media files to turn the old transistor into a relevant modern machine.
