 Very nice January 21, 2007
Was very easy to set up. I am very happy with it, except for one thing. I have spent a lot of time making sure that all the folders from one artist are all in one folder. The Netgear software was able to seperate them. So now when I look up the by the artist there might be four diffrent folders with the same musician.
 Gret performance and value... January 21, 2007

This product works exceptionally well wireless in the configuration that I have. I have two PCs connected to a linksys B/G telephone router and am operating the unit via wireless connection on another floor of my house using both PCs as media servers. I did immediately upgrade the firmware on the unit, and had to enable mixed B/G mode on the router to allow it to connect, but once I figured that out, the device works flawlessly and at a fraction of the price of other units on the market...a great value, after testing it out, I ordered a second one for my other stereo!
Does not work with Rhapsody or AOL Radio September 4, 2006

If you look on the box it says that it works with AOL Radio and Rhapsody. I was using both, so I purchased it.
Since the time it was manufactured those players have changed versions and no longer work with the MP101.
You might be able to get Rhapsody to play a song or 2, but that is all I could get no matter what software or firmware I installed. AOL radio has a new version of DRM that does not work with the MP101 period.
Using the media server from Netgear that was made for the MP115 I was able to get internet streaming radio and mp3s to work perfect. Booting it up with the wireless is a little slow so I left it on most of the time.
After a while I gave up on it and ran a 50' extension cord under my house from my PC to my stereo instead.
In my old house I had a cheap gateway profile all-in-one PC that I used for my media. That worked much better and you can get one on ebay for under $100 sometimes.
Lowdown on Pro's and Con's April 17, 2006

If you have hundreds of CD's, it is certainly attractive to manage and play your music from your computer. This player gets you partially there.
Pro's
1. Obviously provides all the + and - of mp3's. Sound is pretty decent at 192 kbs sampling.
2. Server side library management & import software is good.
3. Ability to play and search music on the mp101 is good.
4. Radio1234 streaming service is worth the $20 to me. Other radio stations can be streamed, with some work, through Twonky.
5. Extremely low cost vis-a-vis buying a 60 gbyte mp3 player
Con's
1. Virtually/entirely useless as a wireless device with the 2 routers I have tried, however I have not tried w/ Netgear router
2. Unconscionable bugs and shortcomings on the client. As I added music to the server, the artist list was truncated on the client - bad news for listening to Yo La Tengo & Zakir Hussein. So the primary reason to use this device is partially defeated. Why are firmware programmers so sloppy?
3. Can't get Live365 to work regardless of online documentation.
Not being able to access my entire music library on the client makes this a "no-buy." Maybe future firmware upgrades will address this.
 It NEVER works....rip off December 16, 2005

Basically, its a piece of crap. The server never connects. When it does connect, the songs break up and don't sound right. The Media Server software always locks up. Its just an awful program. What a waste of $ this was.
How could Netgear release something that was so horrid? Beats me.
