This was a bit of a problem for me, but it was also a benefit because I never get bored with the same music channel and if I didn't like a song I could easily change the channel.

WiFi Internet Radio is the first radio that is able to access over 99% of internet radio stations broadcast all over the world. Technology like this has never before been available and the benefit of being able to listen to absolutely any station is excellent. Once you have one of these you wonder what you did without it.

This radio is able to link with all three major streaming formats. What's even more is that there is no subscription charge, no signal coverage problems and no international content boundaries. I love the clarity of sound this radio gives. This radio gives you 10,000 radio stations to listen to by just pressing a button and all of the stations sound very clear. You really are spoilt for choice when deciding what to listen to.

It is really easy to use you just have to have a Wi-Fi network that needs a broadband internet connection with wireless router then you will be able to stream both live and listen again to internet radio content. It offers a lot of choice compared to an ordinary radio that seems old hat compared with what this radio can do. I love the way that the channels are listed alphabetically and the multi-function control knob that is really easy to use. I actually think that this is far easier to use than an FM radio. I thought it would be difficult to use when I bought it but, when I got it home I soon learned how to use it. It is self explanatory.

What I love as well is that you literally are spoilt for choice there is so much to listen to which is excellent when you are tidying up and in need of some inspiring music. I love the ease of being able to listen to this radio anywhere around the house. It is not very heavy and easily plugs in and plays at the push of a button. The AE Wi-Fi radio has all the advantages of internet radio and the ability to listen to it all around the home. You can also play music stored on any Wi-Fi compatible PC in your home. So if you have a favourite type of music it is easy to record it.

It is a very clear signal with no interference unlike usual radios. Because the radio has built in Wi-Fi capabilities it is able to pick up any radio station anywhere in the world. It is excellent how you don't have to worry about reception difficulties so if there is a show you want to listen to then you can. Reception difficulties can be really annoying with DAB, but with Wi-Fi you don't have those difficulties. Sometimes with DAB the weather can get in the way of your favourite station but, with WiFi you don't have to worry about that.

You don't have to worry about the cost of paying for subscriptions because of having the availability of being able to listen to any radio station anywhere in the world for free. It would make a fantastic Christmas gift. This radio also supports Real, Windows Media and MP3, this covers the majority of format for on-line radio. The other benefit is that it allows you to browse on-line all the stations around the world by genre, listen or by content on demand. This made it much easier to use and store music.
