You no longer have to be sitting at your computer to hear your music, nor do you need to burn your Internet-sourced audio to CDs to import it to the living room. Just plug the M1000 into your integrated amplifier or surround receiver and you can listen to all your digital music on your stereo or multichannel speaker system. The M1000 includes built-in 802.11b WiFi for wireless use but also offers a RJ-45/Cat5 Ethernet port for hard-wired connections.
PC owners, meanwhile, will delight in the SoundBridge's built-in Windows Media Connect, Windows Media Player 10, and Rhapsody support. The device also works with any music service using Windows Media DRM 10, such as Napster, MusicMatch, and Walmart.com. All told, the M1000 is the most compatible music player around.
The SoundBridge offers Internet radio access, too, bringing you a selection of free music and talk-radio stations (with up to 10 station presets). Roku's Fast Browse feature lets you browse huge music collections by album, artist, genre, or composer (providing your files are properly encoded with said details). You can also play your stored iTunes playlists or use the keyword search to find the title you seek. Beyond its WiFi and RJ-45 interfaces, the M1000 offers straight-ahead audio connections: an S/PDIF coaxial digital output and an optical Toslink output (one each) for those that want a pure digital connection with a surround receiver or a CD or minidisc recorder. The unit also comes with a stereo RCA-to-minijack connector that hooks directly into a set of powered computer speakers to create a stylish and minimalist compact stereo system. In addition, Roku has outfitted the SoundBridge with a super-fast, 400 MHz Blackfin DSP and 16 MB of DRAM memory, giving it more than enough headroom to handle future software updates. Finally, the SoundBridge's sleek industrial design looks comfortable anywhere of the house, and even fits conveniently on the wall or under a shelf or cabinet using Roku's optional mounting accessory. The M1000 measures 10 inches wide by 2.37 inches in diameter and is backed by a one-year warranty. What's in the Box M1000 SoundBridge receiver, custom remote control, two AAA batteries, localized power adapter, 3.5 mm-to-RCA cable, detachable rubber base, user's manual. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Amazing!This was my first Wi-Fi radio, and I didn't know quite what to expect. All I did was enter my WEP code (security code for my wi-fi network that you get off the router setup page) it connected right away and started streaming internet radio! I hadn't even powered up the PC on the network yet! It has a huge assortment of internet radio stations available by searching or even browsing by genre from the remote that stream in very good quality (128Kbps MP3 or WMA). I never would have believed internet ... Read More Rating: - Functional, but it gets hotThis is a great product for anyone who wants internet radio without a computer. It looks good; it's easy to install (at least, with a Linksys wrt54g router); and it's easy to use. I would say I'm reasonably network/PC savvy, but I'm certainly no geek! My only concern is that in standby mode it gets quite hot, even with pretty good airflow. As an energy conscious person, I dislike things that still use electricity even when they're not in use. Rating: - I love it!I recommend this product to anyone that loves music. Good bye dull FM stations! I plan to buy another one for my bedroom where I will plug in to my TV. And another one for my mom, who appreciates hearing music without the commercial interruptions. The variety of Internet radio is awesome, and it's free. I listen to stations from the U.S., Jamaica, Latin America, Europe and Asia. It's very easy to install and does not need a computer to work. Rating:  - DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT FROM ENDLESS VARIETYApparently I am at least the second person who had their order cancelled by Endless Variety without any explanation. I can't speak for the product since I never received it. Rating: - Loved it from the startI've owned this Roku Soundbridge for over 3 or 4 years now, haven't stopped loving it, great interface, elegance and simplicity. Buy one if you love radio and experience music from around the globe |
