Roku SoundBridge Internet Radios

R

RadioEnginerd

One of my co-workers bought the M1000 SoundBridge radio from Roku and I have to admit, it's pretty cool.

Out of the box it wasn't much but I upgraded the software to 2.5 beta, and it's smokin'. Allows you to play music out of your iTunes playlists on your PC. Very good stuff.

Anyone else using any of these products?

I'm hoping it works better than the Linksys Wireless-B internet radio system I bought a little over a year ago (and subsequently sold). Had a ton of bugs, and when it actually worked it could only play MP3 streams. I don't even think they sell it anymore. You'd think by now a half-decent internet radio playing product for the home would be readily available. <P ID="signature">______________

At one time there were believe it or not going back as far 99' or 2000. And pratically all of them got discontinued or the manufacturer went under. Problem is they were large and you can't go anywhere with them. They need to be more portable and need to tune in with a flick of the switch.
