Got my ALURATEK AIREC01F Internet Radio yesterday. It connects to you existing stereo or home theatre system through an audio input like a tuner. It can also be used with powered multimedia speakers because the output has a volume level control on the remote.
Setup to my secure wireless network was too easy. It only took 5 minutes and I was playing music off the WEB. I did cheat a bit and read the manual first. It also has a wired LAN port if you don’t have wireless. No problems so far. Audio quality is great. The user manual could use a little work. It seems to leave out a few basic things that so far I have been able to figure out. A website is available for help and firmware updates.
You find internet streaming stations using their Internet Portal Server by continent/ country/state/genre or all. If you know the station ID they are listed in alphabetical order. You can then save as a “favorite” station and recall it later. The manual does not tell you how to delete a single favorite that you have saved, only all of them. WEB site Support did give me a clue that I have not tried yet.
Everything is done with the remote and the display is large and easy to read. It even sets the time clock with a WEB time server. It also plays music from a USB thumb drive, can act as an access point, and access music from a media server on your PC that is on the network.
It seems most radio stations have their programming on a WEB stream now days. I have been exploring station around the country, especially public and community radio. No PC required and the quality is better than FM radio in most cases.
