Ian, Horsham, WSx Music fan

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: a) Digital radio Sound or internet sound is just awesome compared to FM.
b) I found it easy to set up.
Bad points:: a) With so many internet radio stations, use of the 'favourites' will be key. There is almost too much choice. I mean, in Russia, there is a radio station JUST playing Pink Floyd. It bacomes easier searching with filters.
b) This is a long term thing, but it occurs to me that if the screen ever failed then the entire device becomes next to useless as it would be just pot luck as to what you could listen to. However, this is going to be true of any modern device.

Mark, Music fan

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Great sound quality.
Thought I'd mainly use the i-pod dock or mp3 input but I now just stream all my music straight from my laptop - love it!
Internet radio - fantastic choice of stations.
