Internet streaming radio thingy

Hey, quick question for you all. I want to beable to stream shoutcast a device that i can put in the garden, currently i use my phone but it's rather lacking in sound power.

I was thinking of getting an internet enabled radio, however i can't find much on any of them, do any of them support shoutcast, or could i DLNA to steam to a pc then repeat to the device ?!?

Also water proof would be good as spontaneous water fights happen !!

I think waterproof is probably something you'll struggle for.

A squeezebox radio will probably do it, however you would need a pc running the squeezebox software on it to be on aswell. Its also not waterproof.

Can you just use some kind of docking station?

Beyond that you're looking at something to stream (possibly a sonos or squeezebox) then have that connected to an amp (indoors) which would then have cable routed outside to some outdoor speakers

There are several waterproof solutions that I know of... But the lack of a posted budget figure kind of makes any attempt at a recommendation pointless.
