They picked an inauspicious time to do it, since everyone's jazzed up about Apple's AirPort Express, but Sonos just
kicked off their new Digital Music System for streaming music off of your PC's hard drive and around your house. The
Digital Music System kicks the WiFi to the curb and uses its own proprietary networking standard to wirelessly connect
together multiple ZonePlayers (which you hook up to speakers) in a mesh network to extend their range, but what'll get
you salivating is the wireless remote control, which comes with a color screen that can display track info, playlists,
and cover art.

CDlabs http://www.cdlabs.co.uk/sonos are retailing this product in the UK. They offer to rip 50 CDs free of chargd as part of the deal.
Ordered my introductory Sonos bundle through MustAVit http://www.mustavit.co.uk and received the next day. System is fantastic and with the free 50 cd ripping to FLAC my music is now only a scroll wheel away throughout my flat
Ok, so got the box, unpacked it, plugged it in and WOW! This is like the coolest thing i have in my flat, far better then the plasma!! Easy to set up and plugged into some great speakers. Deffo worth the money. Got it from electric shopping: http://www.electricshopping.com/sonos/sonos.html
The controller screen fades a little too quickly but i hear there is a setting for this, not read the instructions as yet!
I cant wait to get better online radio support in the UK for this, any way, even without, its excellent.
Sonos created the Digital Music System being one of first and finest equipments available on the market today, integrating computertech, wireless electronics and audio components into a modern, amazing high quality product, so easy to install and so easy to use for a very affordable price.
We love it!
