Tom's Hardware ha recensito questo stranissimo strumento che funziona da server audio, indirizzando la musica attraverso qualsiasi rete disponibile. Esso utilizza un proprio processore in grado di decomprimere e comprimere la musica nei formati MP3/WMA/WAV senza il supporto di un computer. Il suo nome è AudioTron: un nome un programma.

When people ask the question, "What is AudioTron?" the answer isn't easily explained. In a nutshell, AudioTron can be described as a networked interface that allows users to access music in MP3/WMA/WAV format from a storage share point on their network. In addition, if you have a broadband cable modem or DSL connection, you can also use AudioTron to listen to Internet-based radio stations.

Instead of connecting to your computer, the AudioTron connects to your home stereo receiver. Thus, AudioTron allows a user access to their vast MP3/WMA/WAV music collection over their home stereo, using AudioTron's simple interface. AudioTron does not have a hard drive or storage capability, so it is more of a "smart interface" than anything else.

AudioTron is a "smart" stereo component, as the software can be upgraded and it can handle the decompression of compressed audio formats. AudioTron does not use the PC for this process. You can use either the included remote or any Web browser to access the AudioTron. Once the AudioTron is installed on your network, you have a digital "jukebox" of sorts, which offers a great way to listen to and manage a huge music collection, without having to deal with stacks of CDs.
