CasaTunes ships CasaTunes XLe and XLe Music Server
For those with the requisite cash and a hankering for whole-home audio distribution, you should probably know that the recently announced CasaTunes XLe music server is now shipping. CasaTools has also proclaimed that the CasaTunes XLe is shipping alongside of it, proving a PCI-express card that snaps into PCs and connects to a separate expansion box that together can control music in up to 12 rooms of a home. All told, the scalable system can support up to four expansion boxes for up to 48 rooms of music. For those who can't recall, the CasaTunes XLe Music Server includes the music server PC and comes pre-installed with the CasaTunes XLe PCI-e card, expansion box, CasaTunes software, 250GB hard drive and a built-in touch screen. Now, if only finding $1,199 (CasaTunes XLe) / $2,199 (XLe Music Server) were as easy as the order process itself...
CasaTools announces CasaTunes Xle Multi-Room Music Server
It's a month or so late, but those eager to get their hands on a new music server from the labs of CasaTunes are probably willing to forgive the brief delay. The multi-room device, which was announced last September at CEDIA, is finally shipping to those interested. Dubbed the CasaTunes XL, it comes stocked with a capacious 250GB hard drive (which, honestly, sort of pales in comparison to WD's newest 2TB monster), touchscreen controls and the ability to shuffle between up to nine different sources. A few different model options are available, but you can get started for as low as $1,499.Update: CasaTunes wrote in to say that the CasaTunes XLi Music Server is available now, while the CasaTunes Xle and the CasaTunes Xle Music Server are expected to be available in a few weeks.%Gallery-30203%
