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. It's a pretty cool system... by loudgazelle · · Score: 4, Interesting

    My dad got the Sonos a couple of months ago, and I saw it in action last weekend. It's really cool stuff and well implemented.

    The big selling point for him was being able to have all the "zones" synchronously play the same song in every room. None of the other solutions he looked at were able to do that.

    As far as I remember, the scrool wheel doesn't move- it's touch based, like on the recent iPods.


    I just wish I had the money to buy one for myself...
