Linksys Wireless-G Music Bridge

Clunky support for the Yahoo music service means unreliable audio streaming.

Price: $99

Designed for streaming music from your PC to your stereo, the Linksys Wireless-G Music Bridge supports both digital optical and coaxial hookups, and it works with any audio application on the PC–including iTunes. If you're willing to pay a $6.99 monthly subscription for Yahoo Music Unlimited, you'll get access to over one million tracks, as well as more than 100 Internet radio stations. In our tests, the audio was clean, but the wireless configuration was confusing, and the Yahoo Music Engine, which you need a special plugin for, disconnected repeatedly. The digital media adapter isn't a brand-new concept, so we wish this bridge provided a smoother experience.
