Logitech Wireless Music System, A number of excellent reviews have been written regarding this product which seems to now be out of production. I will not repeat what has been written. I do wish to add a couple of points.
Having taken delivery of a unit last week, I have been using it to stream sound (Internet Radio, as well as mp3 files on the upstairs computer) (XP Pro) to the home theater receiver in the downstairs family room. Even with 2.4 GHZ cordless phone and wireless Internet throughout the house - it works fine.
The real surprise is that I have an old Sony with Windows ME. I plugged the transmitter in to one of it's USB ports, and it immediately streamed the music.
I have the software installed on the XP but not on the ME machine. It is quite simple to just pull the USB cord out of the Sony if I wish to have the sound coming from the computer's speakers.
Older technology, but does what it was made to do!, Let me start off by saying that I have several Logitech devices in my home. I have the DiNovo Edge wireless keyboard, a wireless trackman trackball, a marble mouse trackball for my computer at work, and I have this neat little device (the wireless music system)that came out in my time of need.
I first bought this about 5 or 6 years ago when I wanted to play my downloaded music on my stereo system in my living room without having to burn it to a CD first. It worked great for a while, until it started to show it's age and Logitech stopped supporting the software about 2 or 3 years ago. I had to download some "wireless keyboard support" plug-in for Winamp in order to be able to use the remote with that program. The only reason it gets a rating of 4 instead of five is because I noticed how outdated this was when I set up my first wireless network in my home. I believe the signal from my wireless router has a tendency to interfere with this unit, causing the music to frequently cut out. However, it may only be because of the distance between the transmitter and receiver, and that there is a wall or two in the way. Other than that, this is a great little system to have.
Logitech has since then come out with the Wireless DJ system, and more recently, the Squeezebox.
Works with most Bluetooth Transmitters / iPhone/iPod Touch, Logitech has not updated the software for the wireless bluetooth transmitter in a while, but the receiver works great as a wireless audio receiver with most bluetooth devices like phones, or the iPod touch.
You just hold down the receivers "Connect" button for 4 seconds to make it discoverable (flashes red/blue), then discover it with your bluetooth device (I use my iPod Touch). The connection code is "0000" (Zeros). You lose the remote control functionality on the receiver...but of course, if you have an iPhone in your hand you do not need it.
Cheap way to get music from PC to Real stereo system, (What's this?) I like it. Plug the box into your amp using stereo cables, stick USB stick into your PC (after adding the drivers as part of the install), change your music source to Logitech, and start playing, its pretty basic. The only thing that is a slight pain is when you don't want to use the stereo, you typically have to manually change the music source, so you kep doing that back and forth. I broke the part that sticks into the USB on the PC (I had it stuck in directly and it sticks out like a flash drive, so I knocked it while moving the PC).
Logitech Wireless Music System for PC, (What's this?) Great product, Looses sound sometimes but 99.
Great until it stops completely and won't come back to life, Six months of great, set up is super easy....and then, with no changes to the PC or the setup around it, it just refuses to work. A simple point-to-point wireless connection with no software required, and suddenly it is useless. Logitech customer support might as well not exist for all the help they provided.
Exactly what I imagined!!!, This product works exactly what I had envisioned when I imagined what it would be like to hear all my computer media through my house sound system. I now get full music sound quality from every room in my house with any internet radio station I choose, and from my iTunes library which offers more options and is way more flexible than my iPod. Needless to say, I am extremely happy with this purchase.
Good product but not perfect, (What's this?) I bought the PC version of this and have been using it for about 2-3 weeks. Overall audio quality is good, however sometimes the signal is interrupted for some reason. Reviews on line say that other Blue-tooth and wireless products may interfere with the signal (like cordless phones, wireless internet). The aspect I do not like is that the remote is picky, you have to be right in front of the IR receiver to make it work, and that the receiver must be connected to a amp if you want to use speakers. Headphones do not require an amp. Funny thing is that I bought the PC USB transmitter and receiver including the remote for 150 from here, and then bought an additional receiver and transmitter from ebay for $15. 10% of the price.
greatest purchase Ive made, (What's this?) I purchased the music anywhere just when it came out at $48 a year ago. I have plugged it in three different pcs and it has worked flawlessly always. I have tried to get another but it seems out of production and if there is one its too expensive now.
