Two years after absorbing a Roku SoundBridge Internet radio into my A/V equipment stash, I started hankering for a more modern device. Specifically, I wanted an Internet audio tuner that would integrate into my whole-house audio system, provide wireless remote browsing and control via an iPod Touch app, and support media sources such as Pandora and local UPnP streams.
I recently acquired an iPod Touch, and soon found myself with an 80GB iPod paperweight knocking around and collecting dust. Then it hit me: why not use a Pogoplug as an iPod server, effectively filling my nifty new iPod Touch with 80GB of music whenever I have WiFi access!
Boxee has quietly moved its long awaited Beta release onto its public download site. The new version of this free Internet — and local — A/V-streaming player currently supports PCs running Mac OS X, Windows XP, and Ubuntu OSes, with an Apple TV version coming soon.
