I. Music Server Software Requirements

Roku SoundBridge is designed to act as a remote client for several kinds of music jukebox software. With SoundBridge software version 2.0 and later, SoundBridge users can connect directly to their Windows Media Connect or Musicmatch music library, as well as to iTunes. You can also play WMA and DRM WMA files (purchased from popular online music stores such as Napster). (Apple’s policy does not allow SoundBridge to support protected AAC files.)
