Endless Variety canceled the order with no explanation. I was counting on giving this as a present.

Apparently I am at least the second person who had their order cancelled by Endless Variety without any explanation. I can’t speak for the product since I never received it.

I don’t own this product but another one from the same company – a Roku R1000 internet radio.
We loved the product while it worked but recently the power supply died after less than 2 years. Of course it’s out of warranty and the company won’t even respond to questions on how to send it for repair. Look at http://forums.rokulabs.com and you will find many other customers with exactly the same problem – some of them are now talking about filing a class action lawsuit. Although my experience was with another one of their products, not this one, ask yourself: Would you want to buy a product from a company which has a track record of selling a faulty product and not making amends to their customers?

The product description claimed to be most compatible with the widest array of music files.
What they don’t tell you, is any music file that does not have DRM protection. If you have iTunes, Urge, Zune, or any other music service you are out of luck. Furthermore, if one of these music services uses Windows Media, you cannot connect to any of your unproteced files, either; because if the DRM function of WM is active, there is no capeability to connect to this product.
Oh, and the final dissapointment…there is a 15% restock fee from the vendor. Amazon should alert consumers if outside vendors have exchange policies different than Amazon.
Read the fine print and buyer beware.

This is a cool little gadget. I finally can listen to the best music again.
