Roku SoundBridge network music players connect a computer’s digital music library to powered speakers or a stereo, enabling users to play digital music files anywhere in the house. Users can also enjoy listening to thousands of free Internet radio stations without even turning on the computer. All SoundBridge models support MP3, WMA, DRM WMA, AAC, AIFF, and WAV music formats, and they are network ready with wired Ethernet or Wi-Fi. SoundBridge is the most compatible network music player on the market. It works—right out of the box—with iTunes^® and Windows^® Media Connect music players; Rhapsody^TM; and all PlaysForSure^TM music services such as Napster^TM, MSN^® Music, Walmart.com, Musicmatch^TM, and more.

"Altera's CPLDs enable us to deliver leading-edge innovation in the shortest amount of time and at low cost, which is critical in the extremely competitive consumer market. Our SoundBridge M500, original M1000, and M2000 products benefit from MAX CPLDs, and we have adopted MAX II CPLDs for our Wi-Fi Media Streaming Modules to bring networked music and display features to a wide array of consumer products."
