Roku has announced a version of its SoundBridge technology intended to be embedded in consumer electronics: Roku has received rave reviews for its stylish and technically adept—though expensive—devices for bridging sound and other media over wired and wireless networks. Their SoundBridge module includes all of the digital media playback technology and the pieces necessary for 10/100 Mbps wired and secure Wi-Fi networking.
There’s a lengthy list of protocols, music formats, and DRM-based streaming music services they support: Microsoft Windows Media Connect and Windows Media DRM 10 and OpenTalk, UPnP AV, Rhapsody, Internet radio…WMA, AAC, MP3, AIFF, WAV and LPCM file formats…protected WMA content from music services like Real Networks’ Rhapsody, Napster, MSN Music, Musicmatch and Walmart.com.
The only one missing? Apple’s FairPlay protected version of AAC sold by the iTunes Music Store.
In related news, Roku has released a beta 2.0 update for its PhotoBridge HD1000 digital media player that allows it to play unencrypted AAC files.
