Reciva are the developers of a technology platform that enables consumer electronics brands and digital audio manufacturers to develop connected audio devices - primarily internet radios (but with controls available for FM radio, CD drive and USB disks). In principle - it is simply a matter of "turn on and go" for end-users, and for many it is. But sometimes there are complications or a desire to do something more complex.
