Digital camera reviews of Aluratek AIRJ01F USB Internet Radio Jukebox
Digital camera Review: Radio Jukebox - hmmmm
Summary: 2 Stars
This application so dogs down my laptop that you can hardly use it with normal operations to listen to music. I had to ask for a replacement of the first one. The second one works, but the stream is jumpy and less than satisfying UNLESS you are doing nothing else but listening to the station.Digital camera Review: Radio World
Summary: 4 Stars
Yes you get listen to stations all over the world. But I have only used it maybe three times. Is easy to install just plug into a usb port and your done. So whyI have only used rarely? I have a program similar to this already in my computer. But if you need this it works and works very well.Digital camera Review: STOP IT NOW!! HOW DO I TURN IT OFF!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I can not shut the damn thing down!! I exit and it just re-starts. I kill the Aluratek.exe process (two of them by the way) in Windows Task Manager and the darn thing continually restarts itself!
It also continues to open and close the file folder created for the USB drive the Aluratek application uses!
WHAT A PIECE OF GARBAGE!
I bought it from eBay on a daily special for 10 dollars and it is a complete waste!
I should charge eBay and "BUY The Internet Super Store" another 20 dollars for wasting my time!This thing is COMPLETELY unusable!
RUN AWAY SCREAMING!!
UPDATE!! UPDATE!! UPDATE!! UPDATE!!
I purchased this item from "BUY The Internet Super Store" via eBay and after complaining to them about this item, they PROMPTLY and professionally responded and issued a refund.
The product may be junk but the service form "BUY The Internet Super Store" certainly was not.
Digital camera Review: Super Easy to use, and FUN, makes a great gift too! HEAR the WORLD!
Summary: 4 Stars
Aluratek is known for high quality radio devices, and this is a handy and very affordable member of the Aluratek family.
What I like MOST about this is that it is goof-proof- you simply plug it in to a USB port, the program loads and you are free to explore- there is nothing complicated here.
Like many reviewers, I remember enjoying short wave as a child - my family felt it was important to be exposed to other cultures and far away lands. This is certainly easier to use!
While one can argue that most stations can be found for free without the Aluratec- but would be rather time consuming- this is much easier.
I have used this on my Vista Premium Toshiba laptop, as well as my Acer 10.1 inch netbook running Windows XP - no problems with either- this truly is plug-and-play.
I think it makes a sensational gift too- be it a young person, or a senior or anywhwre in between.
People seem to be delighted by this product, as it has the "WOW it WORKS" factor going for it- you open it up plug it in and you are good to go.
It is also nice to hear news from around the world- I love the notion of hearing real time financial data and commentary from Europe, Japan and China.
You cant miss with this one - get one for yourself and maybe another as a "just because" gift for a friend or family member -this is good!
Digital camera Review: The BEST for the LEAST
Summary: 5 Stars
For what they're charging for this, this product is worth it - easy to use - the display is simple - and the choices in Internet radio are SO MANY...a GREAT value!!
