> put your media on a uPnP server, access it using vlc on a smartphone and then from there send it via bluetooth to the radio using it as a bluetooth speaker.

Hertzshaffnocheinmal! What a contraption. Here's what I want:

1. plug a USB device in that has all my media files on it

2. push "shuffle"

3. push "play"

Like how CD players work. In fact, even steps 2 and 3 should be optional. It should just work when the USB device is plugged in.

If you have multiple radios (like I do) that would require physically moving the USB from one to another.

Or you could get multiple USB sticks. It's not like they're expensive!

My GDs are about to go to the recycler. I won't be buying a GD device again. They are a nice product marred by easily correctable flaws.
