Orb Music Player (MP-1) Review

Orb Music Player (MP-1)

Nice device that uses your wireless network to stream music. There are a number of devices that can to do this (small computer, Sonos, etc), but this is by far the cheapest. They also provide an app for iphone and android that lets you control what music it plays.
It works pretty well - the software will index your itunes library for you. I don't think they support music indexers other than iTunes, but I'm stuck with it either way as I use OS X. You can also listen to music from a few different places: youtube, sirius (if you have it) and pandora(!!). The pandora functionality is, by far, the feature that gets the most use for me.
I hooked an old pair of speakers up to this in my kitchen and I use it to listen to Pandora / itunes playlists all the time.
It would definitely get 5 stars if they let my play music on my phone. Right now, you can only play music that's on your computer and your computer has to be on the whole time you're playing music. If I can tell it what to play from my phone, why can't I play the music on my phone? More services also wouldn't hurt (I have an internet radio station that requires authentication - it didn't work >_

jWIN JXM122 Portable AM/FM Weather Band Radio Review

jWIN JXM122 Portable AM/FM Weather Band Radio

(More customer reviews)
I received this radio 2 days ago and it has hardly left my side. I am teathered to a dialysis machine 9 hours a day and use it in my bed. It appears well made with sturdy controls which are not easily changed by moving around in the covers. The digital display has a white background that alternates between time and station with the touch of a button. The white light can be used as a nightlight if desired. The display can be switched on and left on if you want. The tuning and voume switches are easy to operate. There are ten preset stations available for each am and fm band. Reception seems very good and sound quality for this size radio is acceptable. Stereo can be output to headphones but the unit returns to mono when the speaker is used. Other controls are small and could be difficult for someone with large hands to operate easily. There is a lock switch which prevents the accidental operation of other controls. I find no need to use it. The display is easy to read. The printing over each of the controls is medium gray on black background, small and difficult to read but once you get to know the unit should not be a problem. An a/c adapter is included. The unit is handsome but not something to show off. It looks and works as advertised. The instruction booklet is straight forward and simple. Radio is smaller than it looks in the picture and may not be as large as you expect so check the physical dimensions. If you need a radio for personal use (in the bed, office cubicle, or on your person) this one should fill the bill.

Chose this product because of the value (price vs features). Overall I got what I wanted /expected.
Features I was looking for:
-ability to play DivX movies
-HDMI connection
-Surround sound
Bonus features:
-USB Connection
Annoyances:
-vast sound difference between radio and other sources - need dvd player approx level 30, radio level 2. The default setting seems to be level 35, so switching between sources when you turn it on is a pain if you don't turn down the volume
-volume knob on the unit is erratic
-no random selection when playing music (off USB drive)
Installation was easy, works OK with my TV, plays DVD's and videos well, good radio reception.
