Review: Plug it in and it plays. Tell it the station you want it to start with every time and all you have to do is plug it in. Plug it into the USB port and after a few seconds you will be listening to your default station.

There is however no way I can see to get to a station that is not in the list.

Also MP3pro stations only play as downgraded MP3 streams.

Searching can be fun too. Look under Thailand and you will see stations, but not radiobangkok.net. If you type in Bangkok to the search up will come radiobangkok.net. The same applies to Apple-FM in Hong Kong.

I have run it under XP and Vista with good results.

The online help is in good English and not Chinglish for once.

You can record what you are listening to as a WMA file on the same device. It has 2 gigs of memory as a thumb drive too. Just press the red button and agree the file name. This is a 32K WMA.

Great for on the road use and capturing BBC7 for later listening.


Pros: It works and very simple to use.
Cons: No MP3pro. No unlisted stations.
Score: 8/10
