The SoniqCast Aireo 2 is a truly unique player that refreshes its content via Wi-Fi and can transmit to any FM radio. The Aireo 2 is especially attractive to Audible.com fans, but has much to offer any digital-audio devotee.
Review by CNET
The original Aireo may have been big and bulky for a 1.5GB MP3 player, but it had an ace up its sleeve: the ability to connect to Wi-Fi networks for music transfers. A year later, the thinner and lighter 20GB SoniqCast Aireo 2 has arrived, and its wireless capabilities still make a big impression. Judged purely as an MP3 player, however, the Aireo falters with its too-spare interface, limited playback options, touch-and-go Wi-Fi connectivity, and poor battery life. Early adopters will get a kick out of this mold-breaking device, but those looking for a more solid music player should stick with the iPod or any other top-rated MP3 player.

How much technology can you cram into a container the size of a deck of cards? In the case of the SoniqCast Aireo 2, a lot. At its heart, it’s a 20GB digital audio player with an FM tuner. But it also has an FM transmitter for wirelessly connecting to your car radio or home stereo, and Wi-Fi for a no-cables connection to your PC. Moreover, the player also use your network or any open Wi-Fi access point to connect directly to Audible.com for books, newspapers, and talk shows, or to SoniqCast.com for music. And SoniqCast constantly varies the mix on your player, using rules to select the amount of material from a playlist, the percentage of the player space to use, the player space to replace, and the actual media to use.

This is an excellent solution for wirelessly listening to your MP3s in your car. It’s a fairly decent standalone portable MP3 player, but it could have been smaller. If it is not urgent, I suggest you to wait 4 months for the Aireo 2.
