Cosmopolit honors its name

For over a year I carry myself to buy an Internet radio receiver with the idea. There are now a wide range, so you should already know exactly what you want.
The Cosmopolit 7 WEB Grundig has particularly impressed me, because he understands the conventional FM and hopefully even better developed DAB next to Internet radio. With MP3, WMA and RealAudio all popular formats are covered. The design is also quite appealing and the sound is surprisingly good despite the small case, which of course also depends on the quality of the program being broadcast.
I run the Cosmopolit in a wireless network (LAN is also possible) over a Fritz box 7270. When configuring should be better access to the manual, the latest at Integration in the network. FM and DAB you get well as towards. After Cover your WLAN and enter the network key, the connection is made quickly. The router is 20 meters and between 4 old walls' immaculate reception with me.
The selection of channels you can meet by country or genre. Instead of specifying on the unit or the remote control you can also [...] access to the platform vTuner and compile their favorites and moments later they are available on the Radio menu. Currently 12616 stations available through vTuner. Unlisted stations can be added on the side. What was not in the product description, but an interesting feature is: There are also a large number of podcasts available, sorted by topics and countries.
But the radio can play not only radio but also the local music collection. Once there is the ability to share the same folder on the PC. Comfortable, however, is to configure the Windows Media Player 11 as UPnP media server. Provided that the music data are properly provided with ID3 tags, so the title, artist and album are displayed. In addition, you can play in this way only music of a particular style or artist.
The remote control is handy, though a bit stiff. But they still works at an angle of 45 degrees to the device and a distance of 10 meters.
Something negative is also to report. The device also has a USB port for connecting MP3 players or USB sticks. For this purpose is in the manual that this feature is only available after an update. The update location is available on the website of Grundig. There is not (yet?) Not. Let's see what the support responds to my request.

Otherwise, a great device. I am very happy with it.
