Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Is not an appliance, IS a gadget
We have been using the SB wireless music for about a month.

Good points:
System uses same (decent) desktop software as my wife's Zen Micro and my Nomad Zen, so we have one system for managing all our music.
The first unit we received was not working, and Creative customer support replaced it after a short e-mail discussion, which is a big improvement in Creative's approach to customer support.
When working, it works well, and it is cool, because the audio stuff ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent product
This thing is doing EXACTLY what I wanted it to do. My house has speakers wired throughout, but the builder terminated all speaker wire in our mechanicals room next to our furnace...a ridiculous place for a stereo system. To solve this, I installed the sound blaster in the mechanicals room and have it pumping music into a stereo receiver sitting next to it. My laptop is transmitting my music to it over our wireless network and the remote allows me to view, play, queue up songs, trigger pre-made playlists ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great So Far!
I received this item about an hour ago. I am currently listening to it through my stereo. Overall easy setup and install.

I found it very easy to install the software and import my 80GB library. The media server is the usual Creative software -- somewhat cumbersome at times, but powerful and not too bad to get used to. I love that you can control the receiver from the computer as well as the remote -- even the current playlist.

The receiver ships with a mini plug. You will ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Get a Media Center PC Instead.......
It's a decent buy if you still haven't bitten the bullet on a full blown Windows Media Center Edition PC.

It comes with a Wireless Music Server application which you run on your PC. The Device itself is an external device about the size of a cable modem which you can plug into a receiver or powered speakers via RCA or Optical connections. The device connects wirelessly to your PC or to your router.

It also comes with a RF (radio frequency) remote control with LCD display. The remote ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Worked out of the box - easy to use
I have an Audiotron, which I have had for years; it looks good with my stereo equipment. I bought this unit for the bedroom, where I wanted something small to hide in a bedside table; it is very small and unassuming. It works very well and was easy to setup. I would have preferred the automated network filesystem search of the Audiotron (no PC has any server, it can find music on standalone remote disks (like the LinkStation)). So, I was disappointed in having to use the "server" (software on the PC).
But, ... Read More
