What is an Id?

The JRiver Id is a networked audio player that plays from your computer. You can control it from your phone.

The name came from the idea JRiver had for an Imaginary Device. Imagine a few of these around your home. You can play to them from a computer or stand-alone.

At $395, it's very affordable.
