C. Crane CC WiFi 3 Internet Radio with Skytune, Bluetooth Receiver, Clock and Alarm with Remote Control, Access to Thousands of Radio Stations Worldwide

I can't fault the price given how easy this radio is to use. Good instructions, responsive controls, two alarms, easy-to-set presets. I was wary of the screen before buying, and it's not my first choice, but the menu system and navigation is easy to use and well thought out. Especially if you are used to rotary controls and buttons. To turn off the screen when the radio is sleeping, you simply turn the main knob to the left. Finish is good, no defects. I like the size and weight, and it comes with a DC barrel-to-USB cable and can run from a battery pack. 3.5mm line out jack works very well. The internal speaker still works by default when the line out jack is in use. I don't know if it can be turned off. It has two alarms. If the radio can't connect, the default alarm tone sounds instead. This occured once after I changed the buffering speed to two seconds, which I guess wasn't enough time for alarms. Changing this to ten seconds worked. I read CC Crane's response to the Reciva aggregation site was good, and they now use Skytune. They also allow you to connect to the radio via network IP and input the stream URLs directly, which is great and should be standard on all radios as with internet radio programs and plugins on computers.

Excellent radio! I have the standard CC Radio 3 and it’ss great device, so I figured I’d take a chance with this. First try with an Internet radio. The setup took just a few minutes and then I was listening! There are more stations than I’ll ever know what to do with. Very good sound with a speaker that you’d think is kind of small. I like the EQ on the jazz setting. Using a computer makes it even easier to arrange your presets and simply look up channels on the Skytune site and organize them. It sends all of that to the radio for you. It’s perfect for a single room. Would not fill a really large area with sound, but I don’t think it’s made to do so.

4 stars so far...works as designed, now I can get rid of Xfinity at+$200 a month. Good quality, feels a little flimsy but seems to be well made. Relatively easy to use and set up as well.

Overall quality and build is fine. Set up easy, turning the knob to enter password took a little practice. Like the remote. I'm a slow learner, but finding the ins and outs is easy. Audio quality better than expected. Only "maybe" downsides, LED screen could be bigger, remote could hold more than ten presets (not realistic) EQ is nice. Sleep timer and alarm are nice. Although not a battery portable, you can move from power location at will. Radio remembers your information and reloads. I enjoyed writing this review! Thirty days in I still like the radio. There are a few cons, so I downgrade stars to 4 from 5. 1. The display is just to small. Speaker does not have enough volumn. Search is clumsy, littered with useless station. Not able to load. Chinese after chinese. All that said I'm keeping the radio. I've come up with 10 presets out of a claimed 20,000.

Do NOT buy this POS radio, Amazon charged me a little over $300, when I got it, my son set it up it was awesome. Listened to station all day! No static, sent glowing review! Today will not work! Called company (in California) they close on Saturday. I am so angry, and one radio is $129 on company website, and Amazon charged me $299! Do not buy this POS radio.

I've wanted to purchase an internet radio for quite some time. After doing a lot of research, I opted to buy this terrific radio. So far, it hasn't disappointed me. Although this was my first internet radio, setup was extremely easy, and I was up and running in minutes. Skytune has plenty of stations, and I had no problems going from station to station. The radio was very responsive, and the sound is the best I've heard from a radio this size with a single speaker, which is excellent. It really is a lot of fun playing with this radio just to hear what people in other countries are listening to! I also tried the Bluetooth feature with iHeartRadio, TuneIn Radio, and Radio Garden; it worked perfectly with TuneIn Radio and Radio Garden, but iHeartRadio inexplicably didn't stream over everything. Not really a big deal, and I suspect it had something to do with the iHeartRadio app not playing nice with the radio. Setting up Skytune presets in the radio is very easy, but I was more interested in setting up presets that were not dependent on having Skytune service. After all, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared should the service suddenly not be available! Well, that proved to be quite challenging, because the radio stream url information for most radio stations is very difficult, if not impossible, to find. Nevertheless, I kept at it, and eventually was able to successfully locate this information for many stations and add several preset stations. Patience and persistence are the keys, and you’ll be able to easily do the same thing with no difficulty for a lot of radio stations. Are there areas for improvement? In a word, yes. For example, the radio does not come with a built-in rechargeable battery, nor can you add batteries to the radio. Not a big deal, but if you want the radio to be a truly portable radio you’ll have to get a power bank. If you don’t have one already, a good one will set you back about $20.00. Additionally, having another aggregator service besides Skytune, and/or having iHeartRadio, Spotify, Pandora, etc., available in the radio itself, would also be nice. Don’t get me wrong, Skytune seems to provide an excellent service. But if Skytune shuts down, most of the functionality of the radio for the majority of users goes away, leaving you with a pretty black box. The remote control is functional, but the buttons feel a bit “mushy”, and overall is not up to the same build quality as the radio itself. Finally, it would be great if the radio incorporated an “old school” radio to listen to local AM and FM radio without the need for WiFi connectivity. Not only would this give users an additional option if Skytune was unavailable, but it would also be useful during emergencies when power was unavailable. So, even though I have a “wish list” of improvements for the radio, at the end of the day it is a great radio. It works flawlessly, my list of improvements are relatively minor, and I can get nearly all of my suggested improvements from other radios and equipment I’ve purchased over the years. Maybe the next generation of the radio (WiFi4?) will have some of these additions, but as it stands this is a great radio that’s easy to use and will put a smile on your face.

Excelente Radio, música, noticias variadas!, Sintonizas estaciones de varios países

This is a very well thought out radio. Stable behavior. no quirks so far.. I like the feature that can be enabled that if there is a power outage, it comes back on to the same station and doesnt have to be reconfigured again when the power is restored. Set it and forget it. It is always tuned to my station and ready to play. Its been on for days now and has not dropped out..

Hice una compra excelente, con sintonía de estaciones radiales de casi todo el mundo a través de internet.
