Sono Digital Media Player wireless MP3 receiver
The Sono Digital Media Player is one of those devices that sounds great but which, we suspect, doesn't quite live up to its potential. The Sono (not to be confused with
Sonos) is a $149 "universal tuner" that looks like a table radio and combines a built-in FM receiver with a wireless connection to your PC for playback of audio files and access to Internet radio. Sounds a lot like the Roku SoundBridge Radio, but for less than half the price. Unfortunately, it doesn't use WiFi; instead, it uses its own RF scheme, powered by a USB dongle that you connect to your PC. According to the specs, it also looks like it only supports MP3-formatted music files, which means you can forget about streaming any DRM'd music you've purchased online,
along with CDs you've ripped in other formats.
