0:47
up this
0:48
volume in the kitchen

easy to use um you know there's no need
1:01
to to crack a manual you know you just

1:15
different uh players as here's the
1:17
player in the kitchen and here's one in
1:19
the living room and you can play songs
1:20
uh the same songs to both players
1:23
or to individual players so you can have
1:25
music playing just the kitchen or just a
1:26
living room and of course you can
1:29
attach you know as many of these as you
1:30
want but at 500 bucks a pop you know it
1:32
can get pretty expensive pretty quickly
1:34
um here we have uh information about the
1:37
music that's playing and here's a
1:39
playlist a queue
1:41
of um of music and it's very easy to uh
1:44

17 tracks uh just an airplane added to
2:04
that queue
2:05
uh the music library it's really well
2:06
integrated with itunes
2:09
uh it's um
2:12
imports artists albums composers and so
2:13
on and so forth also playlists so all
2:16
the players you already have in itunes
2:17
are already brought in here um here's
2:20
purchase music for example
2:22
so this is my purchase music playlist
2:25
and it's brought in from from itunes um
2:27
it has genius lists
2:32
well i didn't bring those in
2:35
uh and uh
2:37
you know one of the my favorite features
2:39
is the internet radio
2:40
so it knows my zip code
2:42
and here are my local radio stations
2:44
here in san francisco
2:46
and there's a pretty good selection
2:48
playing one is as easy as hitting it
2:50
play now
2:58
it's thinking
3:08
so here it comes
3:12
and uh
3:13
i'm from london so i like to listen to
3:15
uh music from my hometown
3:19
and here's a couple of favorites i added
3:23
bbc radio london
3:31
isn't that awesome
3:39
and um
3:41
it's also well integrated with online
3:44
music services under the music menu
3:46
button here
3:47
last fm napster pandora rhapsody and
3:49
sirius so if you have a satellite radio
3:51
subscription you can play it through the
3:53
ipad app here wolfgang's vault
3:57
and you can add more choices they just
3:58
signed a deal with um
4:00
spotify in london which hopefully has
4:02
come to the us sooner or later
4:04
uh but they also have moo coming soon
4:06
which is a similar service here in the
4:07
us
4:08
so this is a really slow cap i can't
4:10
believe it i'm really jazzed about this
4:12
the music is awesome
4:14
and it's connected it's actually
4:15
steering music from a network attack
4:18
storage drive where i have all my music
4:19

4:22
up and it is really slick i'm super
