Since 2005 Sonos has set the standard in wireless music systems. The Sonos Multi-Room Music System now features the new touch-screen Sonos CR200 controller ($349 including charging cradle), which offers a 3.5-inch, 640 x 480 pixel touchscreen with on-screen keyboard, faster processor, and compact 2.9 x 4.5 x 0.7-inch /six-ounce dimensions. The best news is that the complete Sonos system is now $1100, including CR200 controller, ZP120 (amplified, just add speakers) and ZP90 (connect home stereo) ZonePlayers, plus a Wi-Fi bridge. It’s undoubtedly the best multi-room wireless music system, and certainly the easiest one to use.

On October 17, 2001, Apple launched the iPod to mixed reviews. With more than 206 million iPods sold, the critics have been silenced.
