The Wireless DJ remote is very stylish with its sleek lines, metallic body and blue LED display. The remote control has a hefty feel to it that resonates an impression of quality. There are three sections of controls on the Wireless DJ remote. The top section features the skip backwards, play/pause and skip forward buttons, the middle section includes a jog dial and select button for scrolling through your playlist and songs in addition to four navigational controls which include back, home, and two playlist buttons. The third section of the remote is dedicated to the volume settings. Powering the remote control is an integrated lithium-ion battery which charges when the remote is plugged into the receiver base."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/20070124_1614453.gif" /><br /><br />Logitech really has been producing some very nice devices lately, especially in the area of connected entertainment. The Wireless DJ will stream music from your PC to a receiver plugged into your stereo system and does it for only $250. I have been thinking about ways to bridge my laptop and consequently my Rhapsody subscription to my speaker system. I can totally see this as being a great option. Not to mention, it looks like a really nice and sleek device.

a pocket pc connected wirelessly would do the exact same thing, and have a better gui too. Also you could play shoutcast stations too..

Wow I must be having a bad day because I still don't see how that would work. Rhapsody doesn't work on PPC as far as I know. And PPC's don't connect via RCA to a music system.

you can use a file explorer of your choice and plenty of free music players support network streaming. There may be better browsers specificly for mp3 files now for ppc, I havn't explored programs for it in years. And every ppc has a headphone jack, you can take a trip to radioshack and hook it into anything you want.
