Picked This Fine WOOT! Up!

The DMS1 Digital Media Streamer connects to any existing home audio system. Functioning as an intelligent remote control, the DMS1 allows you to play your digital files directly from your home computer and Windows Media Connect for Windows XP or SimpleCenter. Multiple DMS1 units can play different music from one computer simultaneously.

What are you doing? Why are you even trying to listen to “Aqualung” on those tinny little computer speakers when your home audio system is just a couple of rooms away? We understand – you’ve got a backlog of thousands of audio files in your CD-burning queue. Don’t we all? But the Omnifi DMS1 Home Digital Media Streamer eliminates the middle-media and sends your audio files directly from your PC to the home stereo system of your choice. An included wireless adapter gives you access to all of your MP3 and WMA files from anywhere in your home. The logical, intuitive interface mimics the folder hierarchy on your PC, and the onscreen display works whether your TV is on or not. Oh, and there’s a remote control included – we wouldn’t want to disturb your rocking out with anything resembling physical exertion. Make the DMS1 part of your home entertainment system and experience the roar like never before. “But wait,” says Woot in our best ginsu-knife-pitchman voice, “There’s more!” The DMS1 can hook up with the Rhapsody subscription service, as well as Microsoft’s Media Player 10 Media Connect Plug-In (ushering you into other services like Napster, Wal-Mart Music, and more). The included SimpleCenter software quickly and reliably rips tracks from CD to MP3, and it uncannily sniffs out your media and labels it with all the relevant discographical info. OK, all together now: “Sitting on a park bench…”

Woot! price: $69.00 plus $5 shipping. Should arrive next week when I will post a review. For those of you thinking about rushing to the Woot! site to grab one... they are sold out and gone. I totally lucked out when in Hong Kong as I was up when the 10:00pm deal went on! Gone in less than 2 minutes!
