Review on Streamlined Music Experience: NETGEAR Wireless Digital Music Player by Alvis Minchenko

My wireless network setup with 64-bit WEP was successful, but I had to restart it again (once more than documented in the manual) to get it can see the network after entering the WEP key. The default media server couldn't import my music. All files have been "rejected". So I went to the NetGear website and downloaded the server software update. Voila, now all my MP3s are imported and working as expected. However, all my WMA or WAV files are still rejected with the message "Unknown codec" on the details screen. It is very annoying to have to convert WMA and WAV files to MP3. Fortunately, the display is bright and easy to read even in a sunlit room. It is significantly brighter than all my other electronic devices. The information displayed for each song makes good use of screen real estate. The remote control is easy to use and suitable for non-technical family members. This means I can begin my plans to ditch the CD player and rid the house of physical CDs! Because of the price and features, and lack of a better selection from the competition, I'm keeping this unit and giving it five stars!
