Julie Jacobson at CE Pro great article on S1Digital’s new music service solution. Autonomic Mirage Media Server by S1Digital is built on Autonomic’s Media Control System which according to CE Pro “merges multistream iTunes, Windows Media and Internet radio into a whole-house system that can be controlled by AMX, Crestron, RTI, URC and NuVo keypads and touchscreens.”
The server is a Windows XP Embedded box with 1TB of storage that enables syncing content over the internet, so once connected it will pull down all the users content and make it available to DNLA clients like the Xbox 360.
