SoundBridge M500 streams music from any computer and many free Internet radio stations to powered speakers or a stereo system anywhere in the house. It is the most compatible network music player on the market since it works seamlessly with the most popular file formats and music player software that people are using today. Easy to set up and easy to use, SoundBridge M500 integrates into any home computer network, either through its built-in Ethernet or integrated WiFi connections. Consumers no longer have to go to a computer to pick their songs, now they can browse and select music by artist, album, song, genre or composer on the SoundBridge M500 using an included remote control."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/SB-M500-small.jpg" /><br /><br />The Roku Soundbridge M500 is virtually identical to it's sister product, the M1000, but it's $50 less expensive (coming in at $199 USD) and uses an LCD display rather than the VFD display that the M1000 uses. Oh, and the M500 is only available at Radio Shack (or from Roku themselves).
