Sonos Digital Music System
-
The Sonos wireless music system ($499 ZP100 - $349 ZP80 - $399 controller) allows your music to be played anywhere in your home. Each of the up to 32 ZonePlayers can play its own music or you can link zones together and have each ZonePlayer in the group play the same music. You can even place all of the ZonePlayers in "party mode" and have the entire house rocking.
Sonos will play your ripped CD collection, Internet radio stations, and millions of songs from music services such as Rhapsody. With Rhapsody you won't need a PC or NAS to store your collection just an Internet connection to directly stream your choice of music to the ZonePlayers. The ZP100 includes an amplifier and only requires a set of speakers where the ZP80 requires an external amplifier and speakers, which is ideally suited to use with your existing audio equipment.
The fun really starts when you pick up
the controller which features a full-color LCD screen. With the
controller you control the entire Sonos system wirelessly including all
of the ZonePlayers regardless of where they may be located. In the mood
for a little Diana Krall during a dinner party? Simply push a few
buttons on the controller and the concert begins. A guest prefers Norah
Jones that you haven't even heard of. No problem! Just pass them the
controller and let them pick their favorite Norah Jones tracks via Rhapsody.
