Laser.com have just received the new Wireless version of the Extreamer!
“The Barix Wireless Exstreamer is a versatile, IEEE 802.11b *(1) or Ethernet connected MP3 audio player for a variety of applications. With the Wireless Exstreamer, the home user now can listen to his MP3 collection through his living room stereo or powered speakers from almost any location.

It can be easily controlled via a web browser interface using web-enabled PCs, webpads and PDAs… The Wireless Exstreamer is suitable for multi-room distributed audio systems. With serial, Ethernet and 802.11b control APIs, the Wireless Exstreamer can be managed from typical home automation systems, and can stream from a common digital music server or standard web file server. In commercial applications, the Wireless Exstreamer in conjunction with the Annuncicom can be used for background music and music-on-hold applications. In addition, pages and announcements can be sent to the devices or device groups *(2).
Installing the Wireless Exstreamer is fast and simple due to its unique features – SonicIP and IPzator: after power-up, the device will speak it’s IP address via the audio port!
