Carefree Music Streaming With The Logitech Wireless DJ Music System

Mike Baggaley found that Logitech's latest wireless music streaming system handles DRM-protected files as easily as your own ripped music.

This is quite nice device. Currently I use airtunes with airport express to stream music to my stereo. But this means that I have to control the music from my computer. Also I have to setup wireless network for that.

This solution is comparable in price, more convenient (remote control for ...ehm... remote computer control) and more secure, I think

My only question is if the software recognizes playlists that are maid in other players, such as iTunes.

Nice device, but anyone who is really serious uses FLAC. This device won't do that or accomodate Winamp, Foobar. I also wish Logitech could fix it to use OGG, but that is likely asking too much. Most of the world uses the MP3, I know that, but the other formats make an audible difference.

Your mentioned it integrates with Rhapsody? Will this also allow streaming of Real Audio internet radio stations? Integration with Winamp would also solve the real audio problem along with FLAC - maybe you can put a bug in Logitech's ear!

I’m currently not a member of Rhapsody, so I couldn’t test it’s functionality with the Wireless DJ for the review. However, I believe that when Rhapsody was mentioned in Logitech’s documentation they referred to playing individual songs using Rhapsody rather than the internet radio. Internet radio functionality with the Wireless DJ was specific to WMP, iTunes, and Musicmatch Jukebox.

Considering that I was unable to test Rhapsody, I can’t tell you for sure that it won’t work, but I don’t think I’d count on it.

Sadly, it does not interface with your ipod. You'll need to have your computer on so that the Wireless DJ can access iTunes.

Thanks for your questions!
