  1. Airport Express is Poor Value Product by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on AirPort Express Streaming Audio From Any Program

    For the same price you can buy a real media receiver like the Linksys or SMC unit which are far superior products. There are a couple nice units listed on the MP3beamer web site.

    They are superior because they include remote controls. Airport requires you to go back to your computer to change the music! Both the Linksys and SMC unit have a graphical display so you can see what's playing, select artists/albums/playlists and include a remote control so you can access it from across the room.

    The Linksys unit even has powered speakers! It's a fantastic unit.

  2. Re:Sync to iTunes - How? by natrius · · Score: 2, Informative · on MP3beamer Released

    It doesn't sync your iTunes collection, you stream from the server using iTunes' built-in sharing.

  3. Sync to iTunes - How? by Slackrat · · Score: 4, Interesting · on MP3beamer Released

    In the product FAQ, they mention an MP3Beamer Sync component that automatically syncs your iTunes collection with your MP3Beamer collection. I'm curious how they pulled this off. Does the iTunes Sharing protocol (DAAP) support file upload? Or are they pushing the music in some other way?

  4. WOW! by j0nkatz · · Score: 5, Informative · on MP3beamer Released

    EVEN BETTER! It appears they are selling just the software for $70 to let you use your own machine as the "beamer" hardware. OS included!!

  5. MP3beamer demo by ziegast · · Score: 1 · on Intel to Market PCs as Home Entertainment Hubs
    At the Linux Desktop Summit on Feb 10th, former MP3.com CEO and Lindows^H^H^H^Hspire founder Michael Robertson unveiled and demonstrated his new companies and products, MPtunes and the MP3beamer. During the demo, he took a Lindows PC running MP3beamer and went to MP3tunes.com to download an indie album into his Lsongs product (think iTunes for Linspire). He then inserted a CD, and it immediately started ripping those songs into Lsongs. He then used the MP3beamer software to setup a radio station to which a Windows PC on the network could listen and played the songs he downloaded. He then exported those songs from iTunes on the Windows PC to his iPod. He then has a Wireless Linksys MP3 radio tune in to the network and also play the same songs. He then had a (beautiful?) assistant walk down the isles of teh audience with his Verizon Wireless PocketPC phone playing the same songs.

    The demo was a great demonstration TODAY (not just plans) of the possibilities of integration between online music services, MP3 software, phones, and consumer products. The gui-based integration of everything with Lindows 5.0 was excellent (they showed the beta to be released very soon).

    Disclosure: I have no affiliation with the companies, just thought as an audience member that it was a cool demo.
