Looking for the right wireless digital audio adapter

linksys wireless-b music adapter

Our pal Craig Froehle over at GearBits checks out a bunch of different wireless digital audio adapters — the Netgear MP101, Creative's SoundBlaster Wireless Music, Roku's Soundbridhe M1000 and M2000, and Turtle Beach's AudioTron-100, and finds that they all fall short (conspicuously absent: Slim Devices' Squeezebox. UPDATE: They just added it.). Besides none of them having 802.11g rather than the slower 802.11b, they were also all missing another feature he was looking for: support for streaming Internet radio. We think he might want to check out the new Wireless-B Music System from Linksys (pictured at right), which should be out soon. It doesn't have 802.11g, but it can definitely stream Internet radio stations.
