Enjoy music from your computer and the Internet in any room of your house with the Director from Cisco. This Wi-Fi® music player features a built-in amplifier, so you can pair it with the matching stereo speaker kit or other bookshelf speakers for crystal-clear playback of your favorite tunes.
Your favorite music, available instantly
The Director connects to your wired or wireless home network and plays songs from your computer. It can also access a wealth of online sources, including free Internet radio stations and Rhapsody® digital music service (subscription required). Add the optional iPod docking station to listen to a friend's iPod when he's visiting. And a stereo analog audio input lets you connect another component, like a CD changer or satellite radio tuner.
Simple setup and easy, intuitive controls
Cisco makes it easy to install the Director and control playback. The included setup disc walks you through each step of connecting this player to your home network and accessing music stored on your computer. Its built-in Wi-Fi® adapter means you can place it just about anywhere in your house. Controlling playback is simple, too. The large color LCD and wireless remote make it easy to select songs, create playlists, and adjust the volume.
Expand your music system to multiple rooms
The Director works perfectly as part of a Linksys by Cisco multi-room audio system. Place different players in the rooms where you want to hear music, and use your laptop or Cisco's wireless touchscreen Controller to manage playback from any room. Pump a playlist of party tunes throughout the house when you have friends over, or play jazz in the kitchen and rock in the living room to suit your family's musical interests.
