Linux HiFi: The Sonos Digital Music System

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-want dept.

TractorJector writes "Mad Penguin published a 5 page review of the Sonos Digital Music System, a wireless music distribution system built on Linux. According to the site, you can use a single remote to control up to 32 "zones" (locations throughout your house where the receivers are placed). The interface is intuitive and well done for such a compact device. According to the review, it's extremely simple to setup as well."

  1. Great product, terrible price by birge · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It's nice to see that the free work of so many programmers was put to use to create an overpriced product with huge profit margins. Weren't we all supposed to benefit from opensource? It looks like the monetary fruits of OSS are going entirely to the deep pockets of a few.

    I bet it's gotta kill guys like Linus and the people who spent years working on linux to go into a store and see a company trying to make them pay for what they wrote for free.
