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.

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.

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.
