## Description

NETGEAR's Wireless Digital Music Player lets you enjoy your digital music files stored on your computers and unlimited, worldwide Internet radio with your friends and family throughout your home. It connects your existing home stereo to your home computer network so you can listen to the digital music collection from any PC on your home stereo system. You can also listen to music directly from a 30,000 track digital jukebox using the RHPSODY¿ service (only available in U.S.) or hear thousands of Internet radio stations even when your PCs are turned off. Easy-to-install software on one PC automatically finds all your music files on any networked PC and collects them into one complete database. The remote control and stylish user interface let you sit on the couch and wirelessly stream MP3s or Windows Media format files from any PC on your home network straight to your stereo! The MP101 supports many PC operating systems, not just Windows XP, and the LCD display means you don't need to turn on your TV when you want to listen to music.

Review: Works Perfectly! (November 2004) - I'd been putting off getting a digital music player, since it seemed like every one I researched was seriously deficient in some way. That included the MP101. However, after looking at some of the more recent reviews, I decided to take a chance on the MP101, thanks to a rebate and extra low price. All I can say is that I followed the other reviewers' recommendations and never touched the installation CD that came with the unit. I downloaded the newest server software and firmware upgrade for the unit from Netgear's site (dated late November 2004) and installed everything from these files. Everything went smoothly. I installed the server software, unzipped the firmware update and placed the files in the directory specified in the directions on Netgear's site, and connected the unit through its ethernet port. I loaded the update to the unit and it rebooted as expected. After that, it was a (fairly) simple matter to configure the base unit to use my 128-bit WEP key. Once I had it configured, I unplugged the ethernet cable and rebooted the MP101. It discovered the network and connected without a hitch, obtained an IP, and found the server. Smooth sailing. The connectivity seems to be fine. The server and wireless access point are upstairs, and I've got the MP101 connected to our stereo downstairs. I have yet to hear it skip a beat while playing songs, and I've listend to over 10 hours worth since plugging it in a few days ago. The reason I'm giving it 4/5 stars instead of 5 is mainly a software issue. I have 9000+ tracks (yes, all legal), and as others have stated, there's no way to create an "on-the-fly" playlist from the base unit. You can only play one song at a time unless you pick a group (like a play list, album, artist, etc.) Annoying, but not critical. It may not be able to play protected songs, though, although I haven't experimented with it much for those tracks yet. I created playlists for my favorite artists and genres and am happy with the performance. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone who has a large library of digital music THAT WAS RIPPED FROM CDs AND IS THEREFORE NOT PROTECTED.
Review: Works as advertised, just a couple of annoyances so far - Setting up on my wireless network with 64-bit WEP was successful but I did have to reboot it an additional time (one time more than documented in the manual) in order for the network to detect after the WEP key was entered. The Media Server out-of-the box failed to import any of my music. All files were 'rejected'. So I went to the NetGear website and downloaded the server software upgrade. Voilà, now all my MP3's import and work as expected. However, all of my WMA or WAV files are still rejected, with a "Unknown codec" message in the detail screen. It's very annoying to have to convert my WMAs and WAVs to MP3. On a positive surprise, the display is bright and easy to read even in a sun-lit room. It is significantly brighter than any of my other electronics. The info displayed per song makes good use of the screen area. The remote is easy to use and adequate for family members who are not technically savvy. That means I can proceed with my plans of throwing out the CD player and ridding the house of physical CDs! Based on price and features and lack of better choices from competitors, I am keeping this unit and giving it five stars!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works perfectly with other server software
*by E***S on February 1, 2007*

Many of the problems that are being mentioned have to do with the server that netgear provides with the package. Don't bother to use the CD. Don't even bother to download the new version from the netgear website because it has issues. The MP101 is a client that supports the UPNP protocol for streaming music. You can use any other software that can be installed as a server as long as it supports the UPNP. Two good examples are TwonkyMedia and Windows Media Player 11. Specifically, windows media player 11 (that comes with Vista) has a built-in UPNP server. So when you have both the MP101 and the Windows Media Player (WMP) 11 on, the WMP will recognize the client and start streaming music to it. Then you go to the MP101 and acccept the WMP11 as a server. The interface is much better that the default server that netgear provides, since you can instantly see now whatever you have imported in the WMP library, including the fact that you can browse the music directories directly! Users with Windows XP can also download WMP11 to enjoy these features. Given this setup, I connected the MP101 wired to my router and using WMP11 I never had any problems browsing and playing my music. It also worked perfectly with my Rhapsody account.
