For example, Pandora radio works just great. I purchased a second receiver to feed my tv system. No glitches, interference with my phones, or loss of wi-fi signal whatsoever. The sound is just great through the pc speakers (Altec Lansing). Got it, set it up in less than 1/2 hour. I have one receiver that feeds an amplifier for my outdoor speakers (Bose 5.1). I now can have internet radio all over the house.
Functions would not respond, my wireless mouse did not work properly, and within a few minutes I lost my wireless connection to both of my laptop computers. Sorry, this is useless with a wireless network.By far the best music player IN CONCEPT is the Linksys "Wireless Bridge" because it works through your existing wireless network, except that it simply DOES NOT WORK a lot of the time due to bugs in the software.Why can't someone invent a simple way to play stored music via wireless into a stereo without expensive, gimmicky boxes and concepts that DO NOT WORK. This device is easy to operate, has sharp styling, and produces nice sound, but it sends out a shower of RF interference that affected with my wireless network immediately. I reconnected and plugged in the transmitter again, and immediately lost my network connection once again.
But I have no music or music subscriptions on the old machine. If I cannot get help, it's coming back Amazon, then you can sell it to someone else. Veeeery frustrating. I tried every conceivable combination and permutation of settings and variables and nothing worked. Every time I plugged into the USB port, a red circle with white cross popped up over the speaker icon in the system tray. I followed every direction down to the last bit, I worked several hours to make this work with my Vista laptop but never got even one sound to play. When I clicked play on the Windows Media Player the media player placed a red x next to the first five tracks. And Creative Labs support is virtually and actually non-existent.I have an old XP laptop and it instantly worked perfectly with Windows Media Player.
Only issue is a hum that plays when music turned up high, for the most part however plays great. I think this is definitly worth the money to play pretty good quality music directly and wirelessly from your computer. You just plug it in and it works.
I tried it and it worked fine. I then attached the front right and left jack into the base unit to recover my computer front speakers and another set of speakers (actually two pair of L&R) attached to the remote unit for the bedroom. Signal is superb with no interference. plays in the bedroom too.The Xmod could be set up for surround sound by plugging into a computer USB port. It simply does what it is supposed to do and does it very well.
It self configures. I set the Xmod up for remote speakers and plugged it right into my audio card. One can set it up in two ways; either as a base for remote speakers or as a portal for wireless surround sound. This is not a glam product. Either way it works well.
So now whatever is playing on the computer in stereo (Media Player, Rhapsody, etc).
