Good Concept, Poor Execution

Let me start with what looks and sounds good. Now the worst thing is that I have one that has Wi-Fi functionality so I can listen to "20,000" songs as he claims. The built-in song library is fine and works, but feels kind of repetitive no matter what's selected and not very exciting. The Wi-Fi feature is what I wanted it for. However, it is poorly implemented. Since there is no buffering, song playback will stop midway (if it starts) and then resume automatically. And notice that it doesn't even happen every hour or so, but it does happen at least two or three times in every song. Also, the channels are unordered, so good luck with that. And if you're trying to call a station/channel, be prepared to wait indefinitely for something to play. SaReGaMa is a big name - how can they be so pathetic in execution. And finally, did I tell you that the technology used is more from the 70's? I understand it looks retro, but the technology? For real? I just kept it and my kids have another toy to play with. UPDATE February 28, 2020 - The more I try to use it, the more it hurts to hear. There are glitches in the built-in songs. Skip songs like old vinyl. Duplicate comments and the same songs no matter what channel you listen to. In fact, I would dispute their claim of 5000 built-in songs. I believe they are closest to 100 or less. I probably haven't heard it more than 100 times since I bought it. It doesn't matter how long you wear it. I would also dispute their claim of 20,000 songs over Wi-Fi. the number will probably be 100 or so there too. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND SAVING YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY AND DON'T LET OVERALL REVIEWS FOLLOW YOU.
