aluratek by .. Robert A. Phillips (new york state)
product works fine and i enjoy listening to music from around the world while working on the computer

Good, but could be better by .. Matt (New York, NY USA)
The Aluratek Internet Radio Jukebox is great for finding & surfing radio stations around the world and playing them through a single interface. It performs this task very well. I had it up and running on my home PC in no time, just as advertised. Reasons I didn't give it 5 stars:




- The interface itself is clunky, cryptic and a bit slow. It's easy enough to use, just kind of awkward.



- It does not necessarily work on "locked down" office workstations. Although it doesn't need to install software to run, it does need to put a special driver in your Windows directory. Not a deal-breaker by any means, but something to be aware of.



All in all, the Internet Radio Jukebox is great for exploring Internet radio stations. If you'd like that process made simpler and more convenient, then you'll probably be happy with it. Otherwise, it's no different from just bookmarking your favorite stations with your Web browser.

When I bought this radio, and I found it excellent, I bought 6 pcs more as gift for my friends. It's simple to use.Clear sound I can say it's great.

Internet Radio, Sometimes by .. NITEMARE ()
This is a neat little gadget but, it's frustrating to use at times. It installed OK and worked very well (the first time.) Now, every time I want to use it I have to figure out some new way of getting it started.




There are NO instructions of any kind so you're on your own and, once installed, I still have not figured out how to get it to tune the entire spectrum of stations. It displays a few stations when it opens and I still can't figure out how to get to other stations that it has but is not displaying.



It looks like a neat little gift idea but you are buying a bit of frustration.

Amazing! by .. Z-tini (New York)
I have never been so amazed at the sounds of different music from around the world. So many channels to pick from and no monthly charges. I installed it on Vista and installation was pretty easy - just make sure you turn off your firewall to allow Aluratek to have internet access or add it to your trusted sites. This is a great gift for someone who travels around the world and wants to stay current and up to date with "home" news since there are thousands of talk radio stations as well. It has locked up on me a few times but I can't complain since it is getting information from across the world. This does not happen all the time just during certain times of the day. Figured it is probably due to the server being overloaded at a busy time.
