Customer Reviews

Hey - Its a music player and it works
Having seen some poor reviews I think this is the first time I've ever been motivated to defend a product! It works! It integrated with our existing wi-fi network (or will create it's own). if more people realised this i believe that much of the critisism would have been averted.

It was difficult to set up until i realised this. Since then I love it. There are some limitations with syncronous play, but in a party enviroment, having 2 units playing the same music (or more) is great. But usually I end up with my kids listening to their stuff whilst I do my own thing in a different room, all from one unit.

All I can say is that three of my friends have brought one after seeing mine, and all love them!

A good buy, a good product, best of breed.

WOW
My husband bought me this for christmas, but said he nearly hadn't because of some of the negative reviews he'd read about it. I'm so glad he did because this is one amazing piece of kit!. The sound quality is great and I had NO trouble setting it up ( believe me when i say I know very little about computers and networks etc) I pretty much plugged it in and away it went ! I thought I would have trouble connecting to the internet but again this was really straightforward. The internet radio capabilities are great.
I absolutely love the option to "broadcast" the music around the house, and plan to get at least one more station to annoy the neighbours a little bit more !
As most of my music was still on CD and not on my computer I found that it was just as quick to record it straight from the CD to the hard drive, which didn't take anywhere near as long as previous reviewers had said - about 10 mins a CD.
I don't think I have a negative comment about the system, I love the light on it, the display and the overall look of it. No additional speakers so no need for cables everywhere !
All said it's the best xmas pressie ever. Don't be put off by some of these reviews - take the plunge you won't regret it !
