Aluratek alarm clock wakes you to Internet Radio |
If you happen to live in an area that doesn’t have a radio station that caters to your musical taste, your only real options are MP3s, CDs or Internet radio. CDs are too old school for the geeky among us, MP3s are cool but can get expensive if you’re not into messing with RIAA so Internet radio looks like a good option.
The catch is that your boring clock radio probably only wakes you up to an annoying beep or FM radio. While a country song might get you out of bed quickly, wouldn’t it be nicer to wake to your favorite music genre? Aluratek has a new clock radio that can wake you to FM, MP3, a beep or Internet radio stations.
The clock has built-in 802.11b/g connectivity, an Ethernet port and a USB jack. It can play music in WMA, WVA and MP3 formats and has a USB port for directly connecting flash drives with music on them. The device has dual alarms and retails for $179. It also includes a remote control and RCA out jacks for connecting external speakers.

I think this is the first of many devices that will allow people to listen to internet radio away from their computer. This is going to be part of a broadcasting revolution that will change radio forever. Great product!
