Pros:
1) Does the job that I want: play songs thru IP network.
2) Nice outlook
3) Sound quality is not bad, at least with a mini subwoofer
4) Reasonable price
Cons:
1) The PC M-Crew software is not very user-friendly.
2) Can't display non-English characters
3) not enough functional buttons/keys on the unit itself

The thought of centralizing all your music on a network attached storage and be able to play from anywhere in the house sounds great. Especially being able to play from places like kitchen wirelessly is great.
Setup I use: Linksys NAS200 Storage centrally located with inbuilt media center support.
Comments:
1. If you do purchase one, immediately download the latest firmware and update. It will save you lot of trouble. It seems version 1.0 is more like a functional test version. You would need to connect the player to network and access it through a browser. You really do not need to install mcrew server for this. point the browser to the right IP address of the player and enter "root" and no password to login.Note that the player can be made to display the IP address by using remote(net info)
2. With the latest firmware, you can setup the wireless SSID and key on the player itself. The key information is hard to enter. use forwards and backwards buttons to advance to the next position. use Next and Back buttons to increase or decrease the number/digit. I do not believe this is written anywhere in the manual.
3. Sound quality is great. Price is right. Small, but complete with speakers (unlike logitech and few others, who require that you purchase the whole kit and many of those network receivers require that you hook up speakers, which could be painful in places like kitchen)
Current problems I have:
Central NAS I have has around 500 songs with sub directories for various categories. Also I have the play lists.
1. Player does not show playlists. This player can play playlist from the supplied mcrew software on PC only
2. Player takes forever to hookup to this media server. The media server has around 500 songs and some video files. It takes around 15 mins or so to load. Not sure what is the problem. It is frustrating.
3. Continuing on #1, player does not connect to web radio and such w/o the mcrew server
It would be good if the future network audio players stay away from having the requirement of connecting to a PC. They should instead serve directly from the web and also from any media server(like the one I described here).
May be the next version will be better. I also expect that these players to be more standards based in regards to playlist and such.

I have had this player for over 6 months now and I absolutely love it. It's not hard to setup if you just read the directions. I use it outside, in the garage, and all over the house. Everyone that comes over just loves it.

Spent too many hours trying to make this work. I was told after all that time that it may not be compatible with my Dell Lap top.

Impossible to set up, sounds terrible. Get yourself a Squeezebox and a nice little pair of powered speakers.
