Airport anyone?
Authored by: alajuela on Feb 26, '02 01:17:05PM

I actually like the receiver idea, and I don't really want another hard drive, and I think an LCD w/ a remote control is good as well. For $169 the Sonic Blue/Rio version of this starts to look pretty attractive.

BUT, why would I want to run another Ethernet cable? Why aren't these being made WI-FI capable? Or am I missing something?

When Apple introduced the iPod, I was thinking they were going to introduce an Airport receiver that connects to a stereo, either digital or RCA, would play from iTunes, had a display and remote. I think this is the future, perhaps there is a speed issue holding up development. 802.11a... gigawire... digital hub spreads another wing??? I'm not trying to start a rumor mill here, just commenting.

I've been running iTunes on an OS X orphaned PowerBook 2400c
with an Orinoco Gold card as a wireless MP3 player plugged into
our whole house Linn streo system since I got my Tibook 2 years
ago. FWIW the full MP3 collection is sitting on a Snap! server
available to any Mac (OS X and OS9) on our wireless LAN. I
control the 2400c via Timbuktu (but you could easily use VNC for
free). This system runs 24/7 serving random play MP3s :)
