Just outside the return period for the one I bought last month when it was on sale for $300 lol, has been working well so far. Recently ripped all my cds and wanted something that could play all my local music without having to turn on my tv like I did with my Sony CD player, my AVR was too slow with this getting bogged down with the amount of files. The Wiim when you first setup an external drive caches all the info so its very quick and works well once that is done, and adding new files doesn't take as long as the initial setup since you can say to only look for new files. Currently using an old M2 SSD drive in an extremal case I had lying around which has improved performance over the usb 2 thumb drive I initially connected to it. It also creates a media server automatically which is great, I can access my music on all my smart tvs including the one on the patio so I can play my music in any room.

The remote is also great as it is Bluetooth so you can use it from anywhere close by without line of sight. I have a zone 2 setup on my AVR with speakers in the Kitchen about 30ft away and the remote never has an issue, great while cooking since I don't have to unlock my phone every time I want to skip a song.

Tidal connect works well too, however I probably wont be keeping that once the trial ends for other reasons. Overall very happy with the device one month in, was a skeptic about these music streaming devices because the cost of some of them is crazy, but it really just makes it easier to do things, and even at full price the wiim is one of the more affordable ones and gives a lot of bang for your buck.

Seems like a waste of money. Why not use Plex on an old computer?

Mine's collecting dust. I should've listened to someone on here who told me the app sucks for playing local music files. 100% true.

I find the app works well for playing my local music, what issues are you having?
