These are fantastic units.
There are many things you can treak on these.
If you have a pda or smartphone, you can contrll the unit with that as well.

Roku just upgraded the software to do many more things, yet to be listed on the web site including iTunes. You would need to go into the Roku forums to read all about it.

Does it happen to work with Winamp, or do you have to play music with Windows Media pLayer?

 

[Jerry Klawiter]

I use winAmp.
Again, no computer needed if you just want to stream net radio
You can also use a NAS drive as well
it will also pass dts & dd via one of the digital outs
Edit:
If you look around the Roku forum, you will find some pictures were others installed these units into old type radios.
The Sound Bridge kind of looks like a pipe bomb, but the units can be slid right out of the aluminum tube and then installed into what ever you want.
The unit itself is self enclosed in a plastic like cylinder.
The aluminum tube is just a enclosure.
