Philips NP1100/37
Editors' rating: 3.5
The good: Relatively inexpensive digital audio streamer; glitch-free wireless streaming; provides access to Rhapsody and Internet radio without a PC on; stylish design.
The bad: Limited file format support; doesn't include as many music services as competitors; only supports PCs for streaming your own music files; slight pause between Rhapsody tracks.
The bottom line: The Philips NP1100/37 lacks the bells and whistles of some other network digital audio players, but it should satisfy those looking for basic streaming on a budget.
