Requires web interface!

by verified purchaser

It should really be noted that this device cannot pick music/files/streaming/etc from the buttons and requires a separate device to choose music via the Pirate Audio's web interface, very disappointing. When the device boots you simply get a message to log into web interface and make a selection, then once that has been done your only option via the A, B, X and Y buttons are to control volume and Pause/Restart playback.
