(Sorry, Mac fans-the MP101 is Windows only.) Initial installation of the Netgear server took 15 minutes to fully collate the 3,500 tracks on our drive during testing. Two main applications, the Netgear server and the Rhapsody software, need to be installed on your PC's hard drive. The MP101 setup and configuration process is fairly simple. Unlike the Slim Devices, the MP101 has no digital audio outputs. Audio connectivity is limited to a stereo RCA analog output and a minijack output, which is inconveniently located on the rear panel. The rear panel hosts an Ethernet port if you prefer a hardwired connection instead. Unlike the Rhapsody-compatible Rockford, which requires an add-on USB Wi-Fi adapter, wireless 802.11b networking capability is built into the MP101.Īlthough some video-enabled digital media receivers utilize faster 802.11g networking, the audio-only MP101 doesn't really need the extra bandwidth (though adding 802.11b devices to your 802.11g network often slows your network's performance to the lowest common denominator). Unlike Creative's product, the included compact remote doesn't have a built-in LCD for navigating tracks, but the conveniently placed Home button makes it easy to return to the main menu while artist, track, genre, playlist, page-up, and page-down buttons simplify music navigation further. It has a crisp-looking, small four-line text display that's readable so long as you're no more than six or seven feet away from it. The relatively inexpensive MP101 is shaped like a miniature home-audio component. Netgear's MP101 is among the first digital media receivers to play user-selected tracks and albums from Rhapsody's fee-based, online streaming music service. The Bottom Line If you can overlook its sometimes flaky performance issues, the Netgear MP101 delivers wireless digital music at a great price. The Bad Device and server software need occasional rebooting Rhapsody service requires monthly fee display can't be read from a distance doesn't stream video or images no digital audio outputs.
