MP3beamer Released
An anonymous reader writes "MP3tunes, Michael Robertson's new music venture, has released a snazzy linux music appliance called MP3beamer. The $399 box auto-rips CDs and imports MP3s and then connects to iTunes, Java devices, media receivers, web devices even WinCE units with handy feature to "sync" songs from server to remote machine for offline playback not just streaming - see screenshots. Last time Robertson launched something with "Beam" in the name it led to avalanche of lawsuits and more then $150MM in legal payments with BeamIt from the old MP3.com." It'd be excellent to get a review of one of these machines; looks like a good one.
Only MP3 Beamer I can think of is the iPod for the BMW.
Interesting, none-the-less.

Picturing Dr. Evil, giggling and saying "Unless you give us 150 Million Million dollars!!! Mwahahaha etc. etc."
But according to Napster, iTunes can cost you 10,000$!!

I use my roomates machine to stream and store all of my music. He doesn't notice and it cost me no money.
Did I mention that he's not very computer literate?
In other words, Slashdot editors want a free one to play with.

$150 in M&Ms would not be so bad. If only my Ex-wife had only asked for that!
