 |  | | |  | | | | UPNP MUSIC PLAYER - Scores 4/5
Techie bit!:
I bought this as a replacement for the MP101 to connect to my Linksys NSLU2UK Storage Link for USB 2.0 Disk Drives running Mediatomb UPnP server. I considered buying the WACS7000 to get the integrated rip functionality but Phillips seem to have a 'no upgrades to the software' policy meaning once you find a glitch you're stuck with it.
Pros:
1) Access to any track in my music collection at a touch of the buttons on the remote control.
2) Random play through my whole music collection.
3) Sound quality is good. Not up to the standards of my Denon micro system but not bad for the size/price.
4) Reasonable wireless connection in most rooms of my house.
Cons:
1) Font on the screen is hard to see from even a metre away so the remote control is slightly redundant except for the volume control.
2) Still slow to get through the menus, not as slow as the MP101 but...
3) Artist and album search is case sensitive so you have to enter The to get to all the artists with The at the start of their name.
4) Music only available in one room at a time, but I could always buy another WAS7000.
I've not investigated playlists to limit the scope of music played at any time. I think this might be highly dependent on which UPnP software you use.
Overall, if you want to access and play your music from any room this set up is pretty good but there are better options for sound quality and screen size but then you have to pay for it.
