Sorry guys, this is too raw for anybody.
Idea is great: most people have a fair number of music media files on their home networks. Many also have a wireless network for Intermet connection sharing. Why not utilize all of that to stream music to any room where WiFi signal reaches? Of course, I was quite excited about this device as I brought it home from Fry's Electronics. As I was at work, my wife managed to set the device up with me intervening only twice: once, to tell her WEP secret key, the other time, to administer the router so that it recognizes the new device (I have MAC address filering enabled). So, she had some successs listening to Internet radio stations, the rest I was not aware of until I got home.
These assholes had to install some piece of crap software on my notebook to have it all (kind of) work. Are you surprised that to listen to Internet radio you have to subscribe to a paid-for service? Would you scream in agony if I were to tell you that your PC with Media Server must be turned on so that you could listen to those stations? Does it surprise you now that during installation Windows Firewall was enabled on your PC (so that doing Remote Desktop connection is no longer possible)? Will this MusicMatch shit play OGG files?
Damn! I should have thrown this piece of technology out of the window of my aparhment. Back on a shelf at Fry's it goes...
