The SONO Digital Media Player
Digital technology like computers, Ipods & Internet access are
changing the way we get to listen to music. Whether we agree or
not, most of us are using the resources given by the internet to
get the music we want, either by downloading mp3s or finding our
favorite radion station online. Computers are becoming more and
more important for most of us to listen to music.
A recent Forrester report indicates that there would be 35
million online radio users by the end of the century. One in
five people say that they listen to Internet radio on their
computers.
Consider the fact that Internet radio is loaded with more than
10,000 online stations; it can repackage live and stored
collections to equip the emerging digital audio user with more
niche content and also give the user single click access to the
digital content available on the Internet.
Using Internet radio
Listening to internet radio is more convenient than choosing to
play your own music. Forget the hassles of selecting and
compiling your play lists. Let someone else do it for you. A
great wealth of digital content exists for you to explore. The
beauty lies in exploring this "never heard before" music.
A wealth of genre specific stations are available for any type
of music. A Specific station can be chosen to match your mood,
stay upto date with news back home or even that incredible
concert in London you missed. At home or work, listening to
Internet radio, away from the PC, is now possible with the
Portable Internet radio receiver.
Technology Involved
Portable Internet radio receivers bring the comfort of listening
to radio away from your PC. The portability would give the user
the ability to walk away from their personal computer and
household and still access their favorite Internet station.
Merconnet, aware of this new technology has brought to the
market SONO, a digital audio player with universal tuner is the
first portable stereo system that allows access to more and more
Internet radio stations everyday, plays mp3's and CD's along
with FM broadcasts.
Ease Of Use
Plugging in the Base Unit to a PC's USB port automatically
starts installation of the default Windows drivers. The SONO
Digital Media Player software driver works in conjunction with
all standard Windows device drivers. This leads to more
convenience in listening to digital audio away from the PC.
The portability approach to digital music is simple: it gives
the user a product that works out of the box to wirelessly pipe
music from a PC to any place in your house. The emerging
internet radio listener will be happy to avoid the complexity
and hassles of listening to internet radio any time, any where
