Get it together!
If you're like most people, you have a lot of music from a lot of different sources. There's your CD collection in the theater room, all those songs you loaded onto iTunes on your laptop, a handful of albums on the desktop, the sometimes-frightening choices on your family members' computers, the selection on your loved one's iPod, several tunes on your music phone, and then that "mixtape" your friend gave you on a flash drive. How do you keep it all organized? How do you play the song you want? If you have to track down the computer with the music you're looking for, then play your favorite jam on woefully underpowered computer speakers, there is a better way! With the MusicCast2 Network Music System, you can access all the tunes in your home wireless network quickly and easily to play on speakers with real sound. There's also an ethernet port on the clients if you prefer a wired connection. Access up to 16 computers to play on up to 32 players with this system. And it can all be conveniently controlled from one intuitive, pocket-sized unit. You can also play internet radio or Rhapsody music (with a subscription, of course), as well as iPods or Bluetooth-enabled music players (each requires a separate dock), or even USB flash drives. The MusicCast2 system can play WMA (except lossless and Pro), MP3, AAC (except Apple lossless and Fairplay DRM), FLAC, and WAV files, and using software included with the MCX-RC100 Network Music Commander, can even play your songs from iTunes. Get all your music sources in the palm of your hand by adding the Yamaha MusicCast2 System to your home today.
Take control of your music situation
The Yamaha Network Music Commander for MusicCAST2 is sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone with even a slightly Type A personality. It offers unparalleled control of the music in your home network. The Commander, also called the MCX-RC100, can control up to 32 separate Network Music Players, anywhere within the range of your Wi-Fi network. It can connect with up to 16 different computers to bring you music from many different sources, including your computer's music library, over 10,000 channels of internet radio, USB devices, Rhapsody music service (subscription sold separately), or with additional accessories, iPods, or Bluetooth-enabled music players. You can also control Yamaha Network Receivers with the Commander, and if those receivers are multi-zone, this is a great way to play different music in different rooms without buying more players. And with additional accessories, you can even run other devices such as DVD players, TVs, and cable boxes. And to think, all of this control comes from a unit small enough to easily fit in your pocket.
Asking for it . . .
The MCXR100 is practically begging to be used. Whether you feel the need to micromanage every little detail of everything, or you're a more casual person, you'll enjoy using the Network Music Commander. It features an extremely easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI) to make managing your music mere child's play. A 3.5" full-color backlit LCD screen lets you keep track of what you're doing at all times, while a control touchpad combines with the set buttons to bring control of your whole house's music right beneath your fingertips. And as a handy innovation, a keypad pops up on the screen whenever you need to input letters or numbers. The Commander can even display album artwork when it's available from your sources. This all comes together to bring you one of the easiest, most fun to use control devices on the market. It's just asking to be used.
