Whole Home Digital Music Arrives With the Sonos Digital Music System

Multi-Zone Digital Music System Renders the Traditional Black Stereo Rack Obsolete

Digital music fans can now listen to rock in the garden, punk in the playroom and fusion in the bedroom, with the launch of the Sonos(TM) Digital Music System, which is previewing this week at the "D2: All Things Digital" conference in Carlsbad, Calif. The Sonos offering is the first and only multi-zone digital music system with a wireless, full-color LCD screen controller that lets consumers play all their digital music, all over their home, while controlling it all from the palm of their hand.

"An estimated 60 percent of residential broadband users have created their own music content libraries on home computers, and trends in music consumption and enjoyment point to personalization, portability, and in-home distribution," said Kurt Scherf, Vice President and Principal Analyst at Parks Associates, a market research and consulting company. "As digital music continues to grow in popularity, a new class of fully digital music systems, including those providing multiple zone capabilities, will become more attractive to those fans looking to expand the ways they enjoy their burgeoning digital music collections."
