A great way to play MP3s and Internet Radio on your Home Stereo.
Written: May 28 '03
Pros:Price, Sound, Features, Ability to upgrade via Firmware and Expansion Port.
Cons:Small LCD, No SPDIF.
The Bottom Line: A nice product that can be found at a great price (cough. 'bay) ;) The ability to browse internet radio and mp3 collection via remote is excellent.
While I did have a slight problem with my firewall during setup, I managed to complete the entire installation in about 20-25min. The sound quality, especially with 128+ Kbps material is great! The ability to tag a song for artist info is really nice too. However, the Simpleware software required an update to play my WMA files. But, when you upgrade the software, it upgrades the Firmware on the unit as well. The unit also has a port to allow for future expansion. The Internet Radio is good, although it would be nice to be able to add content, other than those provided by the big 3 (Shoutcast, Live365, and Virgin). So far I have not experienced any dropouts while listening to Internet radio. Simplefi can be found for much less than Retail, if you know where to look.
