This is a handy little device which extends use of your digital music collection to any room. At the price, you probably wouldn't buy one per room, though these things invariably get cheaper with time and it might be a viable option in a year or so.

This is a device to play music either though headphones or your hi-fi. It is circular at 6cm and 25cm long. It comes with a small cradle to sit it on. The rear has Line Out, Headphones, DC input and an SD/MMC card slot. The front has a 6x1.5cm two line...

Easy setup. Software upgrades itself. Powerful search functions that are updated continuously. Wireless or wired network capable. Has web server to program via your PC instead of remote. Sound quality at the mercy of bitrate being streamed from...

Wish it was cheaper so I could buy 2. Wish it could record. Wish I could use in my car somehow
