Product reviews reveal new ways to merge computer technology with music technology

Seattle — October 13, 1999 —In addition to providing a huge boost of momentum for X10.com’s (www.x10.com/pressroom32.htm) MP3 Anywhere, several outstanding product reviews are providing computer and technology enthusiasts everywhere with new reasons to listen to MP3 tracks from a PC on a legitimate stereo system in the home.

All of the reviews appearing on websites such as MP3.com, PC World and @Home recognize that the MP3 Anywhere is the only wireless solution available to pump digital music onto a home stereo system. Some reviewers choose to focus on the wireless MouseREMOTE that can control up to seven different MP3 players from anywhere in the home. Others call the solution almost irresistible and refer to the installation as piece of cake.

Reviewers are also pushing the limits of the MP3 Anywhere to discover new benefits such as reversing the process to broadcast a wireless audio signal from an old vinyl LP to a computer to record classic music collections. Or dedicating a low-cost computer to just playing MP3 tracks transmitted to a home entertainment system wirelessly for under $100.

"To not only receive great product reviews but also find editors so engrossed in the product that they come up with new applications is a phenomenon even we couldn’t have predicted," said Alex Peder, President X10 (USA) retail sales division. "The MP3 Anywhere is nothing less than intriguing to MP3 fans everywhere and a must review for computer and consumer editors covering one of the hottest markets in the computer industry."
