Good Points: Connects to internet radio stations and lan easy enough. Sound quality OK. No need to have a pc on. Wifi range is decent. Used playlist for media player.
Bad Points: WPA key wasn't saved when I unplugged it to move to another room. No fast forward/reverse button for media player. Manual is sparse. Doesn't have battery backup. No Ethernet port. The user interface needs a bit of work.
General comments: I bought the Acoustic Energy Wi-Fi Internet Radio in new condition from a thrift store for $20. At that price, it's a great deal. Don't think I'd have paid $100 or more though.

The Acoustic Energy Wi-Fi Internet radio uses a router's wi-fi connection to access the Internet. It can be programmed with encryption to suit the network and has a MAC for further security. It downloads a database of internet radio stations from Reciva, the chip designers, and these are sorted by genre and location - if you want a station not on the list you can post an update to Reciva.
It is easy to use, and the sound is as good as you're going to get, given that some internet radio stati ...
