Internet "radio". We've all heard the term and smiled at the joke, right? Well, Aluratek has decided to put the radio back into Internet radio.
Sure, it's an FM receiver for conventional broadcasts in your area, but it's also a WiFi unit, so you can roam about your house and still listen to those Internet stations. Nor do you even have to have a computer running to listen. But if you're not going to roam, you could also use an Ethernet cable to access the 'Net or you can use a USB cable to use a host computer's connection.
You don't even need a computer to set it up. You can also use a USB flash drive and play your favorite MP3, WAV or WMA files. The built-in alarm clock has two programmable settings. The next time one of your non-Internet friends laughs at Internet radio, pull this one out and show them!
Worldwide Radio ReceptionWith built-in vTuner and FM tuner, the Aluratek AIRMM01F offers direct access to thousands of Internet Radio stations around the global as well as all FM broadcasts from your local country.

USB Host FunctionThe Aluratek AIRMM01F features a built-in USB2.0 host port for direct playback of media files on your MP3 player, USB flash drive or other USB storage devices.
Built-in Dual Alarm FunctionBuilt-in alarm clock with 2 programmable alarms wakes you up to your favorite sound of internet radio, FM radio, digital music, or choice of several alarm tones
Clear LCD Screen with BacklitThe Aluratek AIRMM01F features a clear LCD screen with backlit for easy viewing of the channel frequency, transmission mode, data rate and more information.

Pros: I don't have to go over all of the features of the device, but all of them are dead on. The configuration was simple. The audio quality is very nice and the speaker gets fairly load, which I was surprised. The ability to connect to external speakers and even a stereo receiver is nice. The Alarm at first was varying quite but it is an escalating alarm, so it doesn't startle you waking up, instead it slowly eases up to the volume you set. This is a nice feature. I read from other people saying it’s hard to turn the alarm off. I didn't find this to be the case. It has a snooze button as well as a stop but on the remote as well as the top of the unit. The stop button turns the alarm off. The snooze is adjustable which is nice. People also said that the navigation was hard to get around, especial getting to the favorites. If you read the manual, it’s actually very simple. I really recommend this product, especially if you are one that love their internet radio and like having it anywhere.
Cons: Ok, so the cons are as follows. You do need to update the firmware before you use the wireless, if you are using an encrypted network. (Hopefully you are) This is not a problem. It is actually very easy. The device has a website but the only thing that get access to is the upgrade firmware, which I did not have success using. I had to dump the firmware on a thumb drive and it was uploaded in a flash. There is no documentation on the devices website or its password. The login and password is admin. The website for the firmware is http://www.aluratek.com/download_drivers_manuals.php. Then choose it in the driver drop down. Yes, the website is not worded right. Then just unzip the firmware and put it on a thumb drive. The black light doesn't dim it is on or off, but it has an adjustable delay, so you can have it on always or off in 1/3/10/30 mins. It would be nice if it had optical output, but hey, RCA and 3.5" jacks work just fine. The hostname of the device is not changeable.
Overall Review: My other thoughts... If you like, things networked and wireless then this will fit you, just fine. I would suggest downloading the manual from the website I listed above, same link. Check out all of the features. It has lots of pictures. The radio is just really super. I can plug it in outside on my balcony, bathroom, and bedroom or where ever your wireless will reach. Best buy has a similar device on sale but it doesn't look as nice as this device. I really think that you can't go wrong with this. I am actually thinking about getting a second one for the living room. I will say having the remote is a wonderful perk. O'ya the FM radio station can be store in a separate favorite list. It also has an auto-programming feature where it goes out and gets the radio stations. It gets good reception, which was impressed, better then my radio with a regular antenna. I can't wait to set it up with my NAS's streaming audio so I can here all my MP3s. Try it out and see for yourself. 8-)
