Roku Delivers New SoundBridge Radio

Roku Labs has launched a new addition to its SoundBridge line of products, which offers networked music players that stream audio from a PC. The SoundBridge Radio takes the form of a tabletop stereo with built-in Wi-Fi for Internet radio stations and streamed music, along with AM and FM radio.

The SoundBridge Radio can stream MP3, WMA, AIFF, WAV and un-protected AAC formats, as well as Microsoft's Janus DRM format used by Napster, Real and Yahoo. The player's display is double the size of the original SoundBrdige to aid in selecting music and radio stations. The player will go on sale in November for $399 USD.
