WiFi-Enabled Music Players

by Teresa Valdez Klein on June 2, 2006

Rafe Needleman over at CNet News has an update for us on the WiFi-enabled music player that will allow users to snag any preselected album off of various online stores whenever they come in range of a WiFi connection.

Let’s say you just downloaded Not Ready to Make Nice (iTunes) by the Dixie Chicks but decide long after you’ve left your computer that you love it so much you want the whole darn record. With an iPod, that wouldn’t happen until you could get back to a computer with an Internet connection, but if you were using a WiFi-enabled player, you would just flag the album for later purchase. Then at any old time, you could step into a WiFi-enabled coffee shop, buy a latté and have the whole album downloaded by the time you step outside.

Update. Via TechMeme.
