The Sonos Music system is all meshed up. That's a good thing. A new twist on multi-room audio, Sonos uses a wireless mesh networking technology called Sonosnet to transmit music files from a home PC to up to 32 zones in the house (go slowly; it's $900 per zone.) While remote music players from Linksys, Creative and others have sought to do the same thing using Wi-Fi, there's always some household appliance that seems to get in the way in the 2.4-GHz airspace: a microwave oven, a cordless phone (at least, that's the way it is in my house.) I can't even get my PC in the basement some 20 feet away from the upstairs router to make a wireless connection over 802.11g-even after hours on the phone with tech support.
