I like it that you can ban songs or add songs as favorites. Also it comes it great.

I purchasd the AR Internet Radio (Model ARIR200), arriving about a week ago. I now have it hooked up and operating, and I am well satisfied with the result.
However, it was not easy getting there.
The quick setup instructions tell me that I must first register the product. I go to the computer and log on to the address provided. I fill out a five page form, then try to submit. I must first enter the script shown below. There is nothing shown. I try to submit with a blank entry. The web site is not available.
My problems are just beginning. I call the service number provided in the instructions. I am connected to Audiovox, a service company. It is quickly apparent that they know little about the product. The first girl compensates for that lack with a sassy attitude. It is my firewall. Disable the firewall and all will be well. It isn't.
In fact it was the fourth call before someone answered who knew the source of the problem. The AR server was down, and had been for at least a week. I could of course return the radio.
I don't want to return the radio!
A separate sever was found, this one through RCA, and I only had to fib a little bit to get my radio registered.
I now found that there were several services provided in which I have no interest. One, that provides on-line storage for my own MP3's, hangs the radio up until either a) it is unplugged, or b) the MP3 site is separately registered. A ditty by Marlene Dietrich is now stored on-line, for all I know for eternity.
That accomplished, I now go to sleep to BBC World Service, or classical music, or jazz, without sharing my cot with my laptop. Hooray!

Back in 2001 there were several MP3 players on the market. They were all pretty mediocre and did pretty much the same thing. And then Apple came along and changed the entire industry. Why? It wasn't because of superior hardware or some revolutionary new technology unavailable to their competitors. It was because of their superior software and insight into what makes a good user interface and a good consumer experience.
This is what the ARIR200 lacks. It's got 22 buttons, an LCD display, a control wheel, a 512K audio buffer, Wifi, USB, AM/FM tuner, and ethernet port. The only thing lacking is the vision for how to turn this pile of stuff into a really good product.
The user interface is workable, but amature. Most of the 22 buttons are useless. The 512K buffer is also pretty much useless, but with good software, it could be made into a Tivo-like feature for pausing and re-winding live media.
Acoustic research would benefit greatly from releasing their software sources to the open source community and letting them polish up the ARIR200 into a truly good product.

I bought this as an "inexpensive" (LOL) internet radio for talk stations, fully accepting that the sound quality would not be that great. But this radio will not pick up my wifi router 4 feet away on the other side of an interior wall with the electrical wiring in the wall between them. Relocating it to a cleaner radio pathway, it still drops the signal frequently, and must be manually reset. I can't recommend this radio because even a $10 radio that doesn't work very well is an exorbitantly over-priced radio.
