Sound Blaster Wireless Music - Putting It to Use (cont.)
The music library for the Sound Blaster Wireless Music is basically the same as one used in the Jukebox Zen MP3 players. The main difference is that the submenus for artists, albums, and all tracks can navigate to a specific section of songs based on the first character of the audio track. Also, increasing the volume of the audio track just brings up a progress bar, which ranges from 0 to 100 with 4-unit increments. Click to enlarge. |

If you press the "now playing" button once, a screen pops up that shows the information regarding the audio track being played currently. Pressing it again brings up the list of the selected music that is being played.

Note: We used Firmware version 1.20.01, though the unit came with v1.00.00.

A big difference between this device and the airport express is that you can't control what's being played from the Airport Express with the Airport Express. If the computer is in room A, and the airport express and stereo are in room B, you have to travel from room B where you are listening to music to room A to change the playing track.Airport Express needs a remote.

If you can find one, the Turtle Beach Audiotron will scan for network shares and use those.outlaws42 - Tuesday, August 10, 2004 - link
The Squeezebox from slimDevices uses opensource server softwarejohnsonx - Sunday, August 8, 2004 - link
Does anyone know of a media player that doesn't require their proprietary server software to be running?I'd like to find one that can just pull media files from a Windows (CIFS) or Linux (NFS) share.
