Customer Review: Love it Does Exacly What it Promises~So MUCH FUN~~~
Summary: 5 Stars
I always loved listening to the short wave radio at night with my Dad. We would tune into countries all over Europe. Well this is 1000 times better I plugged it in and within 30 seconds I was roaming the world. Crisp clear wonderful sound, no static. No turning a knob trying to get it tuned in clear, it's clear from the start. I am going to so enjoy this. You can be online or email working and still be listening.
This is a great item and would make a wonderful gift to just about anyone. It lets you mark your favorites so you can go back easily.
I'm so glad it came up as a lightening deal I had no idea such an item existed! You will not be sorry if you buy this.
Customer Review: Amazing Product! Travel the world of internet radio with no monthly fees.
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is soooo coool. Just plug it in to your USB Port and you will instantly have access to MANY Thousands of Radio Stations around the world. My wife is Filipino and she love listening to her favorite stations back in the Phillipines. Compared to Rhapsody or Pandora this product is a no brainer. Why pay monthly subscription fees when you can get this for 39 bucks and never have to pay to listen to internet radio again. No commercials or advertisements to listen to either before you get to music. You can also save your favorite stations for future reference on the embeded flash memory. I think everyone will want one of these! Highly recommend....Customer Review: It basically doesn't work
Summary: 1 Stars
It's problematic to keep it working. A lot of stations just play a message telling you to go to the station's web site and play it from there. Clicking on any of these stations causes a "server busy" error that can not be recovered without removing the device and starting it over. It's just too problematic. Give them a year or two, maybe they will make a new version that works. This one is trash, I tried twice, the first one went back to the store and this replacement is going back to the store. I do have a Sangean internet radio that works great! The Aluratek radios may also be ok but this USB device simply doesn't work.

Customer Review: Would Not Automatically Detect
Summary: 1 Stars
I tried plugging it into a secure Desktop which runs Windows XP Pro, and the self-starting app did not run automatically. Tried 4 different USB 2 ports and the device was not automatically detected. Used Trend Micro Internet Security 2008 and now using Norton Internet Security 2009. In both Internet Security software (one at a time), I disabled anti-virus and would not automatically detect. Then disabled firewall and same results. I took the device to Best Buy and tried it on a PC that had Windows Vista Home installed and it worked. So the device is good.
Any suggestions on how to get it to work on Windows XP Pro appreciated.
Customer Review: Global Info & Entertainment Search Time Saver
Summary: 4 Stars
Since receiving this device I find I use it daily as a source of search for Global English & Foreign Language information-news and entertainment radio stations. Rather than use "Google" or some other search engine this device saves time in locating global radio sources. The "favorites" feature is straight forward to use and as you use the device more and more you can set radio locations aside in the favorites section. I happen to use the news-talk feature frequently to listen to foreign sources discuss economies and business news rather than the homogenized sound bites we get even on our so called business network radio or TV stations.
