The basics

A self-contained music streamer, the Philips WACS7500 allows you to rip CDs to an 80GB hard drive, then stream music wirelessly to secondary units. You can add up to four more units, and it's capable of playing MP3, WMA and PCM formats.

I actually have the WACS7000 with two additional secondary units (one of which is actually for the WACS7500). I was disappointed that they do not come with DAB radio built-in, but the units have an AUX input, so one could be connected. The ability to stream music to all units at once is great for parties (though I have had problems with one unit being slightly behind). You can also play different music on each unit, or play music on one and transfer it from room to room. The main unit will rip CDs that a PC will not, although you cannot then copy the music to a PC. It is better to copy music ripped to a PC onto the main unit as Phillips have stopped updating the in-built GraceNote database. It's great to be able to take a secondary unit anywhere in range (garden, shed etc!). The newer secondary units also have a USB connector so that you can use it without the main unit and listen to MP3s on the USB stick!
