The good: Remote control that provides access to the digital music library on your Mac or PC; LCD readout; works with iTunes, Windows Media Player, and RealPlayer; easy setup; low price.
The bad: Only useful for those using a PC or a Mac as a music source; controls aren't as good as an iPod's; feels as cheap as it is.
The bottom line: The Hercules Tunes Explorer Wireless lets you access your digital music library from across the room--but whether or not you find that useful is another issue.
