Sonos ZoneBridge 100 (BR100)

easy to set up, don't have near the problem with dropped connections I had using Airport Express. The ZonePlayer is equally easy to set up. It also has a noticeably better sound quality so that it is worth the extra $$. You get what you pay for. There is room for improvement, have been using my iPod Touch as controller and that using another network doesn't have near as reliable a connection. Would be nice if it could connect with the ZoneBridge directly. When it connects it does work fine. Would also like the ability to rate the album on iTunes like one can using APX with the remote. Still haven't gotten down how Sonos playlists work since they're different than on iTunes. Would be nice if it were a mirror of iTunes and one didn't have to learn a who new system.

The Zone bridge is a 'set and forget' device. It makes the link to your wired network when wired ethernet is not available near your audio system. Set up is fast and easy, the unit is small and stylish. Price should be a little lower, but it is acceptable.

This zone bridge is simply the wireless transmitter that connects the Sonos to the zones around your listening area. If you don't have an Internet connection at your receiver and don't want to run a wire, this is for you. It's well worth the price to keep from having to buy and install the wiring. If you're tired of listening to the same CDs in your collection and you either have digital music on your computer or especially high-speed Internet, Sonos is for you. I highly recommend Sonos and buy it all from Amazon resellers, if available. The unit arrived in a timely manner as well. After three months, I've never had to reset it or bother with it. I'd give it 10 out of 5 if that was possible!

This is a basic part of the Sonos system. It's used to connect the larger system to the internet. The advantage of the Sonos system the simple set-up. I had the whole 3 room system set up (without any call to customer service) in just a few hours. I considered alternate (and cheaper) systems like the Logitech Squeezebox. However, the alternatives use an existing wireless network. With one kid playing WOW and another downloading video, bandwidth is already um, squeezed. Of course, I could beef up my network, but that would make the price much higher and add a lot of complication. Sonos sets up its own proprietary "net" that works great and is dead simple. I'm very happy with the system.

Very satisfied with this product.
I wanted to listen to the music files on my PC and to playlists on Rhapsody on my home audio system that is in a different room. This device along with the Zone Player 90 allowed me to connect my PC to my audio receiver without having to run wires between the devices.

In addition the Sonos Desktop controller allows connectivity to a large number of radio stations over the internet that I can now listen to using the Zone Player. I wasn't aware of this feature when I made the purchase but it is a pleasant surprise.

I had some McAfee firewall problems in getting the files set up on the Sonos Player initially but the customer service rep at Sonos helped me resolve that issue quickly. Sonos also has an extensive FAQ list on their internet site that is helpful to users.
