12 Days of Giveaways: #9 Orb Music Player

I have a LOT of music. I have ripped many CDs, download many MP3s, and just generally collected several gigs of music. Technology has allowed us to keep up and organize music in a much easier way than we might have been able to years ago when we had shelves and shelves of CDs (or even better… LPs!). Now it takes only seconds to pull up a song that you want to hear on your computer.

But even more, we love to carry all this music around with us from place to place on our MP3 players. But… can you get the music from your computer to other parts of your house?

With the Orb Music Player, you can! The Orb is a small little device that plugs into your stereo system that allows you to stream your iTunes library, a folder on your computer, or even a network drive to your stereo without having to lug your computing equipment down to your family room. Even cooler, you can use your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, or Android Phone as your remote. The Orb Controller allows you to queue up music from wherever you are in your home. And… there is even an option to access your media remotely.

Want to setup zones in your home? You can do this easily by adding a 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) Orb Music Player to other rooms in your home. You can then use only one remote (your Smartphone) to control all of the zones and play something different in each room.

The Giveaway

One lucky winner will receive an Orb Music Player.

1. Leave a comment telling me how much music you think you have on your computer.

    I would love this. My computer crashed last year and I haven’t uploaded my music completely yet. I know I need to do it, but I’ve been procrastinating and since we just moved we’ve been busy. Anyway, this would definitely give me the incentive to do it!

    Currently, I have very little as it had to be worked on and I got a new hard drive.

    I think i have a months worth of music to play straight on my computer without it shutting off and I still have yet to load all of my discs onto my computer… This would make it super easy for me to listen to music no matter where I am in my house!!! Even if I do not win this one this is remaining on my wish list! Thanks so much!
