Convenient way to listen to internet stations, etc
I got this because I was sick of the awful local radio stations and figured I'd rather wake up to Pandora, etc.--since that would about guarantee waking up to a great tune (and not babbling DJs). I was surprised to see how few alarm clocks could get internet sources. It does that very well--and has a huge selection of radio stations that broadcast over the Internet as well. The alarm is either a beep OR the music--you cannot get music followed by an alarm. If you want that, you might need a second alarm-only clock. Also, it does not seem to do well with a USB stick or DLNA media source with several hundred songs (if you attempt to shuffle them, it hangs up/reboots). Also, it cannot use the USB or DLNA music for the alarm. I have an ASUS router...I noticed a couple of times that the radio lost the ability to connect. However, other devices lost their connection as well (plus, I had some problems with a printer that went to sleep as well). I suspect this is a router issue, not one with the radio. In preparation for Google Fiber (1G Internet speeds!! woohoo!), I'm running Cat7 hard-wired Ethernet around my house anyway, so I bought the USB network dongle and plugged it in that way. Now, I don't have to worry about the vagaries of wifi. Overall, it does adequately for what I wanted (i.e., wake up to Pandora)--but a few enhancements would shine it up a lot.

Nice radio...one flaw
I love this radio for its ease of set up and use, the radio options, the setting controls, and the remote. I do have one problem with it tho. I listen to Live 365 with it a lot. The radio is not able to show the names of the songs/programs like you can with a Logitech Squeezebox Boom. I guess I am spoiled. It will show with Pandora tho, and that is fine. If it would list titles on all stations, I would have given it a 5 star review.

Almost great internet radio
The Grace internet radio is almost great. The display will turn on spontaneously even though it is set to level 0 when inactive. I can't get the Sirius to function, even though I have a Sirius account. Other than these two irritations, this radio is great. Very easy to put favorite stations in memory, easy to set alarms, great sound.

Get good music any time or place.
With the switch to all talk radio, I needed to find stations that air everything. I can now hear the music I like at any time of day. From all over the world. I can use it in any room is the house. I thank Best Buy for having this Grace radio, it works like a charm.

Awesome Digital Audio Radio/Music Product!
The Mondo Wireless Music Maker is the latest digital audio product from Grace. The setup was a breeze. I connected with my Wi-Fi router within minutes, and was up and listening to Internet radio in a very short time. The voice and music quality are excellent and the color LCD display is a joy to navigate through. I have set my wake-up alarm just for weekdays...I don't have to turn the alarm off on Friday night and then on again on Sunday night! To me, that's almost as good as chocolate! So many things to explore on this baby with radio stations available all over the world. I have created a special setting to play beautiful soft guitar or piano music as I fall asleep every night that shuts off after my specified time. So, I cannot say enough about this product. My purchase was worth every penny, and I am anxious to explore all of the musical 'places' available on my Grace.
