Review on LEMEGA Portable Bluetooth Headphones Batteries by Brian Rivenbark

This radio was purchased to replace a 10 year old Livio radio which was still working properly until the Reciva aggregator set a January 31st shutdown date 2021 announced. That makes Livio a paperweight. In short, the Frontier/Nuvola Technologies LeMega is a very poor replacement. First of all, unlike the Livio/Reciva combo, the Sangean/Frontier combo or even the Revo/Frontier combo, LeMega doesn't support the ability to upload your own custom streams via the web or the app. This radio only plays streams from the Frontier database.

The app is better because at least you can type with your mobile device's software keyboard. The app is difficult to use the features aren't obvious and it doesn't offer any additional features other than the phone itself.

Also, if you want to use the phone's USB power cable to charge the batteries, you must use lithium batteries. Ultimately, the downside to portable Internet radio is that most public Wi-Fi networks require you to agree to some terms of service on the website. which the device cannot access, and this,
