Had to send it back,

This review is from: Sony TDM-NC1 Digital Media Port Wireless Network Audio Adapter (Electronics)
The hardware looks great. Config from the unit itself (getting it on the network both wired and wireless) worked like a charm.
The included software is junk. I installed it on both Vista and XP machines. After spending hours playing with it trying to get it to import my music, firewall settings etc. etc, I could never get the hardware to connect to my server. I hooked the PC to the same switch as the TD-NC1 and it still would not connect the server. The included manual / troubleshooting guide is also a joke/junk. You should be able to install the software and it should just work. I thought I'd be playing music in a few minutes -- instead I invested an afternoon --> and it still isn't working. I am returning this unit and will use an airport express/i-tunes to do the same thing.

Very good idea but...,

As with almost anything with Sony lately, software just SUCKS! and it's very expensive for what you get.
It's a shame Sony can't pay for good software designers that should complement their products and as stated in other reviews of Sony products owned and reviewed by me, they just don't listen! Sony, can you please? - Add Video Support, no just audio. - Fire your software designers and hire new ones capable of designing good software and make it available for people like me that bought this very expensive and good very good looking electronic paper weight? As on the title, this is a very good idea which just does not works! just like the listening aid devices Sony people use that acts more like a noise cancellation buddies... If you're like me, you'll probably buy it even when reading all this reviews... believe me, i did exactly that but, until Sony update it's crappy software my only advice to you is just don't waste your money with this....

Not as cool as it looks,

This review is from: Sony TDM-NC1 Digital Media Port Wireless Network Audio Adapter (Electronics)
I bought this so i could stream my iTunes to my entertainment system, while i work during the day. My Sony home theatre has a DigitalMedia Port, so it all seemed like the perfect fit.
Here are the problems: - Its tiny! Too small to read the display from my sofa 5ft away. Plus the display is not bright enough, and there is no brightness control. - Does not work when my laptop has the Cisco VPN service running. I use VPN's all day for work, so this means i couldn't use this product while working. - Doesn't work with iTunes despite what the website claims. Sure, it can find your songs in the iTunes directory, but you have to install a clunky Sony M-server software to manage your music (eg. create your playlists over again)... and i hate having to do things twice. I thought it would let iTunes stream to it, like you can do with appleTV or Apple airPort. But that is not the case... it DOESN'T work WITH iTunes (just alongside it). - Wireless was not stable. Seems like my internet connectivity dropped out anytime i tried to have it connect to my router. Big pain. Spent 2 days trying to make it all work together. - Not good support from the Sony support team. The regular support people don't know anything about it (since its mostly WiFi problems), and will refer you to the special team for it... but they only work in the mornings Eastern Time, which is not really convenient when UPS bring it to you on a Pacific Time afternoon. I returned this item, and have since bought an appleTV, which is super easy to setup, and much nicer display (actually displays on your TV screen). Plus the apple TV can also cache music, movies etc, so i don't have to worry about VPN problems. Don't but this... get an appleTV instead. Or maybe even the iPod dock for the Sony DMP... might work better than trying to stream from your laptop.
