StreetFire Sound Labs open-sources CD music (NewsForge)
NewsForge takes
a look at an open source RBX1600 personal music server from StreetFire
Sound Labs. " "The open source community is the ultimate marketing
focus group," says entrepreneur Stephen Street, whose latest venture,
StreetFire Sound Labs, is taking on traditional stereo equipment
manufacturers in the "living room war" over home media
equipment. StreetFire's first product, the fully open source RBX1600
personal music server, debuted in the fourth quarter of 2004. The big
difference between StreetFire's $750 server and proprietary systems: "We
want people to hack our box," says Street. "You know the people hacking
their Tivos and running Linux on their Xboxes? We love those guys!""
