Some buyers might be turned off by the pedestrian look of the all-plastic casing, but we didn't mind the look for a product that will most likely live in your bedroom or kitchen. The main menu on the Aluratek is well laid out and easy to use. For Internet radio, you can browse by genre and location, which makes it easy to find, say, a big band jazz station in Germany or an alternative rock station in Arizona.
Aluratek includes a remote, which means you won't have to be standing over it to change the station or adjust the volume. The remote's button layout is fairly mediocre, and we really wished the volume controls were separated more from the other buttons.
On the upside we appreciated the big blue buttons for major functions surrounding the main direction pad, and just including a remote at all is a step up over the Grace Wireless Internet Radio. Features The main feature of the Aluratek is its capability to tune into thousands of Internet radio streams that are freely available on the Web. Internet radio hasn't been that popular in the U.
Web radio offers online simulcasts of many of the world's broadcast stations including many of the HD Radio stations you can't get on standard analog radios , as well as a wealth of Internet-only streams; in other words, even the most eclectic music and talk radio fans can find something worth tuning in.
The Aluratek gets streaming audio from the Internet via your home's broadband connection. The Radio has a built-in There's a single Wi-Fi antenna in the back, which can be rotated and is user replaceable. You can also opt for a wired Ethernet connection, if Wi-Fi proves to be too unstable. For all its functionality, one noticeably missing feature is the capability to add Internet radio stations that aren't available in the preloaded list.
While most people will probably find something they like out of the available options, it's always nice to be able to fill in the gaps. It also would be nice to be able to dial into a podcast's RSS feed, so you could, for example, listen to episodes of Radio Lab without downloading them to your computer first. In addition to streaming Internet radio stations, you can also dial into your own digital music collection.
We had no trouble listening to MP3s off of a thumbdrive, and we were surprised that streaming music off a PC worked without a hitch. Compared with our experiences streaming music in the past, we were pleased at how easily it worked. It's easy to get sidetracked by all the digital audio functionality, but the Aluratek is a fully functional alarm clock. It has dual alarm functionality, so you can set different "his and hers" wake-up times.
Some might be annoyed that setting the alarm is done on the hour standard military time --even if you set the clock to be on a hour system--but we didn't mind since we almost always set an a. Another perk is that you can set the alarm to play essentially any music source.
Want to wake up to an MP3 off of a flash drive? No problem. And you can specify the alarm volume, so you can fall asleep at a quiet volume but have the alarm--whatever the source--be loud enough to wake you from a deep slumber. The Aluratek has a good deal of connectivity for an alarm clock. Around back, there's a headphone jack for private listening, stereo analog outputs for connecting to a stereo system, and an Ethernet jack if you want a wired network connection.
While the connectivity options are mostly solid, we felt the Aluratek should have included an auxiliary input, which would add the capability to connect an MP3 player or other external audio source.
Performance How well a Wi-Fi radio is able to pull in a signal and hold it without dropouts and buffering is one of its most important attributes.
