"Handing over the remote to a dinner party guest to choose a tune is a great way to find out about the hidden depths of your music collection and your guests at the same time," said Twiname in an e-mail. He also uses Squeezebox as a clock.

Wi-Fi music and photos
Rivals of Squeezebox, which costs about $300, include the SoundBridge from Rokulabs.com and Sonos Digital Music System. Apple Inc also uses Wi-Fi in its home media hub Apple TV, which streams music and video from the computer to the television and to stereo systems.

It also added Wi-Fi to its first cell phone, the iPhone, and has put it in its latest music player, the iPod Touch, which works for Web surfing as well as music downloads.

In order to make management of digital photographs less time consuming, privately held Eye-Fi recently started selling a camera storage card with a built-in Wi-Fi connection.

To be sure, using a card reader or a cable connection to transfer photographs between digital cameras and computers is relatively simple. Yet many pictures never get moved to the computer, often because the photographer is too busy or simply forgets.

The Eye-Fi card, which sells for about $100, solves this by automatically moving copies to the computer or online albums every time the camera is switched on and within range of the user's Wi-Fi network and computer.

Ron Glaz, an analyst for research firm IDC said the Eye-Fi was easy to set up and made managing photographs less of a chore. As an added bonus, it also provided entertainment for his young children.

Glaz has connected his computer to his television at home, so when the Eye-Fi card updates his PC photograph album the pictures automatically show up on the TV.
