I don't want to cover the same ground as other reviewers have. So, I will just focus on a couple of the drawbacks this unit has, that I haven't seen previously mentioned.

First, let me say that the look is nice. The sound quality is better than average for a device this size.

However...what is up with this device and batteries??!! Apparently, they don't like each other. This unit sucks the life out of batteries faster than any other radio or musical device, I have previously owned. For example, on a fresh pack of 6 AA batteries, I only got 3 hours of listening time!! That is insane. On a pack of 6 AA rechargeable 2500 Mah NiMH batteries, I got only ONE HOUR!!!! As far as I'm concerned, the battery option is totally useless.

Second, it would be nice for the display (which is nice and bright and colorful), to indicate both the type of stream one is listening to (ie. MP3, AAC, WMA), and the sampling rate (such as 128Kbps). I have 2 other wifi radios and they both do this.

Finally, every wifi radio that I have tried, is flawed to some extent. This one is no exception. However, it is probably less so, than my Grace or Phoenix Com One. It performs fairly well and it has a reasonable price tag.

I'm still waiting though for a decent battery operated wifi radio. Hmmmmm....guess I'll have to keep waiting.

It takes me a great effort to listen through the entire album in one sitting. And it's not because I'm ADHD, or because it's a double disk release. It's because the sound is soothing and hypnotic. Thus, within a couple of tracks, I find myself drifting through space enveloped by gentle atmospheric music, and next thing I know, I'm completely zoned out. In this collection of unreleased and B-sides tracks, Jonas Munk mixes up dreamy shoegaze and ambient synth sweeps with airy beats and soft vocals, that lullaby you into a deep, deep, deep well of oblivion. A few albums on my iPod are reserved for airplane travel (The Future Sound of London's Lifeforms is one of them - because of its "in between states" quality), and this collection, in no doubt, will be added to that list [I guess that explains why I only remember the very first tracks... heh]. RIYL: Arovane, Xela, M83. Favorite tracks: Summer Haze, A Real America, and then I drift off...
