Logitech Wireless DJ Music System
December
Forget about big-bucks servers and phone-book-size owner's manuals. What you need is a low-cost way to wirelessly — and effortlessly — stream music through your home. With the Wireless DJ, storing music in your computer (as opposed to filling up bookcases with CDs) becomes eminently practical, and at a cost ($250) that's tiny compared to some wireless servers. First, install Logitech's StreamPoint software on your PC to create a unified, browsable music catalog. Next, connect the USB Bluetooth transmitter to the PC and the receiver/docking station to your playback system. Then use the rechargeable remote to navigate your PC's music resources — streaming MP3, AAC, WMA, Internet radio, podcasts, and other audio formats. The DJ system can support as many as four wireless receivers with an advertised range of 150 feet, but you can stream to only one room at a time. Reception in my house was excellent, and sound quality was limited by the quality of the source files, not by the Bluetooth connection. If you need an economical wireless link between your PC and home theater, the DJ is the answer. Or, if you want to buy a wooden bookcase, please contact me c/o S&V.
