Your entire music collection is uploaded to the Psonar Cloud and available to download to any music player you own, or you can stream your music to any internet connected device. You can also explore all the music stored in the Psonar Cloud, listen to a 30 second sample of any track and buy it if you like it. ...and it's free.

Low power consumption. So that's a win. For anyone who is probably running a box at home anyway, there are other solutions. I like: www.ampache.org Streams my media anywhere. Use a dynamic dns for Internet access and no commercial third party crap required. Stream your ogg and flac too. There is a good feature here. Low power consumption. So that’s a win.

Not being that knowledgeable about IPod's... I assume that you can't easily connect one up to your NAS/webserver and stream music/video as you could with a Windows or Linux machine?

1 you are not paying apple (ripoff merchants)
2 you are not contributing to the Fraunhofer Institute

double win
