Advantages of the Freecom MusicPal

The Freecom MusicPal is the optimal solution for private home entertainment. The uncomplicated installation and configuration enables you to use Freecom MusicPal within a very short time. By connecting to a router or media server (UPnP) through LAN or WLAN it‘s as easy as winking to play your locally stored music files by means of the media server (UPnP). The Freecom MusicPal also enables you to hear Internet Radio programmes without any problem. Most of the Freecom MusicPal functions can be used at once, with little previous knowledge.

The sound quality depends on the bit rate of the radio stream or of the MP3 files. The basic rule is that the higher the bit rate, the better the sound quality. On Internet Radio higher bit rates also cause a higher data traffic over your Internet connection. In case your Internet connection does not have sufficient bandwidth, then there may be inter- ruptions during playback.
