IntelliTunes has released a digital jukebox for your home that uses a PC to deliver all the music on your hard drive to any room in your house with panache.
This jukebox features two LCD screens, one of which is touch-sensitive, integrated speakers, Windows XP, WiFi connectivity, and online radio streaming. It’s not for everyone, though – it’ll set you back nearly $4,000.
The thing that grabs my attention about it, though, is its PC support and WiFi connection. Since it’s designed for entertainment and game rooms, and because it has two screen, IntelliTunes could easily add support for other programs besides music playback.
Since its got XP built in, why not expand the jukebox to support applications that deliver web-updated content to screens such as FrameChannel. One of the screens could show music-related content while the other shows photos, sports scores, or news headlines.
