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, SoundBridge users can connect directly
to their Windows Media Connect or Musicmatch music library, as well as to iTunes. They can
also now 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.)
