Other systems I've seen require you to make a playlist on your PC, and the remote simply allows you to start/stop or move forward/backward on the playlist. Who's organized enough to have enough playlists set up in advance to make that system work? The Logitech software also gives you a unified view of multiple applications - meaning you can see all your music inside Windows Media Player, and your podcasts in iTunes, all at once. This is a very slick solution - it comes in at $249 USD, which is reasonable when compared to a Roku unit. You can also add additional wireless units connected to other speakers, making this a house-wide solution.
