"It's good, but...."
3.5 starson by gt4877cPros: Wirelessly plays the music stored on your computer through your home stereo
Cons: Scroll Wheel too slow, iTunes compatibility, Yahoo Music Unlimited Compatibility
Summary: This is a great product. A great idea. But Logitech clearly didn't spend enough time in development before getting this out to the market.
It does what it should. You plug in the device to you computer, it searches for the music, and then you select the music and it plays on your stereo.
However, there are many issues I've come accross after using the system for 2 days.
Scroll Wheel: If you want to scroll through 700 songs, forget it. The scroll wheel is set at one speed and won't speed up, even if you scroll faster. This is a serious issue when trying to select your favorite artist.
Internet Radio: It will only play stations you've added to your playlist in itunes or Win Media Player. Forget stations in Yahoo Music Unlimited, or anything that's not itunes or WMP.
iTunes Songs: Also, I've had some trouble playing some songs from iTunes. Haven't figured this out yet, but some songs will come up with an error when a playlist will try to play them. These are songs that play in iTunes normally.
PC sounds: The sounds that your PC plays when using Instant Messengers or other programs come through on my stereo now even when it is not playing music. I've looked, but I can't find a setting to turn off letting PC sounds go through to the stereo.
Other than these issues, I love the product. I wouldn't recommend it though, until Logitech get the problems fixed with an update.

Logitech updated their software to improve several items:<br> - Scrolling. Artists, Albums, Genres, etc. are now under an alphabetical list. So where before you had to scroll through all of the 'A' Artists to get to the 'B' artists (and so on) you can skip them.<br>- iTunes compatibility is improved and I have not had a problem.<br>- Computer Sounds. The default setting does not broadcast the PC sounds to the stereo. This can be turned on and off.

Well, it looks nice, but I can't get the cover off to install the battery.

i've been tempted to get this product. <br><br>how is the range of the wireless remote? How does it perform through walls, etc? how slow is the scroll wheel? Does it ever stall, perhaps when playing playlists with more than 100 songs?<br><br>I have the creative labs version and it stalls, jams and shuts down randomly. I'd love to get something a bit more functional. Any more feedback would be appreciated.
