Warning. This device will only work with certain versions of Windows and requires Internet Explorer. It will not work with Mac or linux or Safari or Firefox or Google Chrome.
A web browser playing media can easily use up to 100,000kb. I bought one in March 2010 for $7.99 w/free shipping directly from one of the same stores that sells them through Amazon. I'm sure if you look around you can find a good price. On the netbook & Dell PC it doesn't use more than 12,000kb RAM. With this device I could still listen to internet radio while I did graphics work. They do sell used ones on Amazon Prime for $9.99.
Your netbook/laptop batteries will last longer. The price was so good I just had to try out one of these little gadgets. That can be a significant factor. It works as advertised on all my computers:PC1: Windows 7 64bit (Gateway)PC2: Windows 7 32bit (Dell)Netbook: Windows 7 Starter (Toshiba)I find it much more convenient than searching for stations on the web, or using other software solutions. A big advantage of this device is that it uses very little resources. On the Dell PC I couldn't run Photoshop and have a web browser open at the same time.
It uses slightly more memory (up to 20,000kb) on the Gateway, but it's still considerably less than a browser.
This is the perfect thing for real music lovers and radio worshipers. Hours of searching all over the world for more great radio stations to add to your favorites. Easy to use and very rewarding. Stations in the netherlands are just a few of my fav's, and you use no space up on your hard drive.
I have aol radio, wi-fi radio & Aluratek usb & I love them all. The usb unit is very easy to use & you can't beat the price. I got two for thirty somthing at amazon. Get this unit.
Yes you get listen to stations all over the world. So whyI have only used rarely. But I have only used it maybe three times. Is easy to install just plug into a usb port and your done. I have a program similar to this already in my computer. But if you need this it works and works very well.
