No speakers, just the networked "box" (Wi-Fi and Ethernet). For the longest time I've been looking for a way to hook up my MP3 collection to the home Hi-Fi system. After unhappy experience with an iPod (proprietary formats, 6th gen. iPod not working under Linux, sound volume capped for the EU market), I discovered this nifty network streaming solution. The quality of sound is amazing, the server is Open Source (lots of help on the forums, works under all OSes), and now I'm as happy as a pig in a pigsty :) Another option for those looking for a way to “hook up” their MP3 collection (other file formats, too!) to the home stereo is the “Squeezebox Classic”.

For some time now Apple has sold both DRM and DRM-free music, and will generally prefer the DRM-free if available. (It depends on their licensing. As of right now, Apple in in the process of converting their entire store to DRM-free, as they have finally worked out the licenses to do so. But within the last few years either way could be true.) To check, select the song in iTunes and hit 'Command-I'. The 'Kind' is 'Protected AAC File' if it has DRM, and 'Purchased AAC File' if is something you've bought that was DRM-free.
