It is "just" a wireless music player but it can also be used as a
bridge. You will still need a wireless access point but these are so
cheap these days that it should not even be a factor.

This looks interesting. Just a quick (silly) question - can this be used as a
wireless (LAN) network device too (i.e., can it access the internet, etc), or
is it just a wireless music player?
Thanks, Andy

Subject: Re: [newbie] Working wireless music?
Take a look at the Squeezebox, http://www.slimdevices.com
I am using 3 of these devices spread around the house.
It uses an open source server which runs on Linux, OS X and Windows.

Dear all,
I VERY MUCH like the idea of being able to play music over a wireless
connection. I have come across only 2 products though (surely there
are more?). Logitech's Wireless Music System and Apple's AirPort Express.

I quite like the idea of AirPort Express as it can be used as a
wireless network too.
Has anyone got these products to work (I've briefly read something
about raop_play: http://raop-play.sourceforge.net)?
Can anyone make any recommendations as to other products that will do
the job just as good/better and is supported in one way shape or form?
