Finally: You Can Stream DRM Protected Audio Files
Posted by Brendan Goetz in "HARDWARE" @ 01:11 PM
"It’s no surprise that people want to stream media from their PC to their home theater system. There are literally hundreds of devices out there that help to make this happen; from audio bridge devices like the Sondigo Sirocco, to full on Media PCs that cost thousands of dollars. Well, we know that streaming video from a PC to your home theater costs a considerable investment, where streaming audio can cost only a couple hundred dollars."
This looks like a very elegantly designed (except in appearance) solution to the problem of trying to stream DRM protected music to a stereo or home theater. The software interface looks very clean and intuitive and there are plenty of options for getting the setup that works for your equipment. I personally use an older PC of mine for streaming off of my media drive, but if I didn’t, I would definitely give this product a look. Finally a way to use the music we LEGALLY bought the way we want to, without the DRM screwing us up.
