Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
This inclusive Omnifi digital media bundle includes almost everything you need to wirelessly transmit your digital music files from the PC to both your home and car stereos, letting you access your favorite music anytime, anywhere. The package centers around Omnifi's innovative SimpleCenter software, which helps you easily acquire and manage music, Internet radio stations, and spoken word content. Once you load the SimpleCenter application onto your PC, it automatically transfers all your existing digital media into the Media Manager, and then gives you access to thousands of new songs and information through Omnifi's Internet partners. From that point forward, all your digital media is stored in one simple-to-navigate location--think of it as a high-powered personal jukebox--that becomes the centerpiece of your music system.
With Omnifi at your command, you can broadcast digital files to your home stereo via the DMS1 Digital Media Streamer, which connects to any existing home audio system and transmits content wirelessly thanks to the 802.11b LAN USB adapter (requires wireless router). Functioning as an intelligent remote control, the DMS1 plays the digital files on your PC (using Windows Media Connect or SimpleCenter) but plays them through your stereo or home theater speakers. You can even connect multiple DMS1 streamers (additional units sold separately) to play several different songs at the same time on different stereos. The Digital Media Streamer plays MP3 and WMA files and streams live Internet broadcasts, and includes both a 128 x 32 pixel graphics display and a TV interface.
To listen to files in your car, simply connect the included DMP1 package, which comes with a removable hard drive (with housing) and a control faceplate. The 20 GB hard drive can actually function independently from the Omnifi wireless system by connecting directly to your computer's USB port to transfer music files (it holds up to 300 hours of CD-quality audio, or 4,000 songs). To transfer files, simply remove the hard drive cartridge from the housing, bring it inside, and attach it to your PC.
However, with the addition of the DWL-121 wireless USB adapter (included), the hard drive can also wirelessly download music from your PC via any 802.11b.g wireless router or access point. Just park in your home's driveway or another nearby point to enjoy full access to your entire MP3 and WMA digital catalog. The controller includes an easy-to-read 128 x 32 pixel display, while the hard drive is small enough to install in an out-of-the way location in your car (mounting brackets are included).
The DMP1 hard drive doesn't just download music files, however. It also synchronizes at pre-scheduled times with SimpleCenter to receive updated news, sports, and weather reports, along with adding your most recent playlists just before your morning commute.
With the Omnifi system, you'll no longer have to mess with hundreds of scattered CDs or store music on your computer that won't play on your home or car stereo. It's quite simply the most powerful and convenient way to set up a full-featured audio system.

Good alternative to CD changers,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rockford Fosgate Omnifi DMP1-DWL12 Home/Car Wireless Digital Music System (Electronics)
I have a builtin 6 disc indash CD changer in my truck, but was getting tired of buying new CD and having to retire older ones to my house to make room for the new music CDs. I started looking around for a good MP3 alternative and wasn't too impressed until I saw the Omnifi. It does everything it says it is supposed to and makes for interesting conversation with your friends. All of my friends are just amazed that it connects wirelessly and updates the hard drive all by itself.
The install was easy, or so I'm told as I had it installed in under an hour. It's relatively easy to use, though I did figure out that you should only put music on it that you intend to listen to because it does take a minute to find a specific song/artist on the headunit. The less you have, the less hunting around you do to find that song that you want to play. I'd definitely recommend it.

Music lovers dream,
By DCHEAD (Kentucky) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rockford Fosgate Omnifi DMP1-DWL12 Home/Car Wireless Digital Music System (Electronics)
I have both the car and home units.What a great product.I found an unofficial web site to upgrade the 20 gig HD to 60 gig.I now have room for over 10,000 songs in my car and the upgrade cost me about 80 bucks.You still have room for over 3000 tunes with the 20 gig drive so most people won't need to upgrade it. It's a lot cheaper than a CD changer which only gives you access to 6-10 CDs.Installation was simple.The hard drive is small and the cable coming from it long enough to install this in the back of a van or SUV.The controller has a removable faceplate thats the size of a standard DIN head unit and only about 3/8" thick.You can either use a FM modulator or if you have an auxillary input on your head unit this will plug right in via L and R RCA jacks(best method).Also if you have a factory radio with CD changer controls you can get an adapter cable to hook this up from just about any stereo shop.You do need a wireless router if you want to download music to the car while it's parked in the garage(or you can remove the hard drive from the car and download music via USB)and for the home music steamer which is a great way to access all your music files on your PC and play them on your home stereo wirelessly.There's also an ethernet input for the home unit if you want to go that route.I use WMA files instead of MP3 and I think they have better sound quality than CDs.
I had a little problem getting the wireless to work at first but all I had to do is configure my firewall(DUH).I definatly recommend this to someone that spends a lot of time in their car or needs a simple solution to play their music files on their home stereo.The software is very simple to use(that's why it's called Simple Center!!)

Beware of caveats,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rockford Fosgate Omnifi DMP1-DWL12 Home/Car Wireless Digital Music System (Electronics)
Overall it's a great idea for a product but it has some serious limitations.
1: Installation requires constant hot voltage, plus ignition, plus dimmer control hook in. Granted you can get this all of the back of your radio wiring harness it will still require some decent splicing. 2: Firmware updates required for all the devices to work with the wireless functions. 3: Software is incredibly cumbersome and not very intuitive. I accidentally ended up duplicating all the songs on the device. 4: Cleaning up the hard drive with thousands of songs was not easy. 5: The weekend I got mine the website was down and all the functionality of the software was dependant on registration which was offline. 6: The DMP is slow. I don't mean average slow, I mean really slow. Scrolling through songs at high speeds caused the device to hang and think about it for a minute and then it mystically jumped hundreds of songs deeper in the list. 7: Just after I got done setting everything up and running the device for 3 days, it simply erased all settings, favorites and playlists. I had to start from scratch. 8: The absolute worst part was the low temperature sensor. Anything below 32 degrees and you'll be lucky to get the hard drive powered up in your car. Absolutely impossible to function during a real northern winter.
