From the press release:
Blackbird offers consumers the ability to control their music from any web browser, multiple computers, anywhere their home network extends. This capability includes desktop computers, wireless laptops, wireless PDA’s, or any device with a web browser. While entertaining guests or relaxing alone, consumers can now simply take out their pocket PDA, and play any song in their entire music collection on their home audio system.
A companion to the home audio system, Blackbird’s four models can store up to 80,000 songs. Blackbird offers audio enthusiasts two high performance sound quality options: professional quality M-Audio Audiophile 2496 or Creative Technology SoundBlaster sound cards.

And just like a home entertainment component, there is no software to install. Consumers need only to turn Blackbird on, open a web browser, and load their music. Blackbird automatically organizes music by song, artist, title and genre. Blackbird supports MP3, MP3PRO, Ogg, Wav, and FLAC formats. Hundreds of preset Internet radio stations are included and others can easily be added. Playlists compile automatically while listening, available to edit and save. Collector’s music investment is consolidated and safely stored in the owner’s audio cabinet. Valuable computer disk space is unburdened and the consumer’s music library is safe from crashes and viruses that affect office computers.
Blackbird Digital Music Player is shipping now. Pricing begins at $499.
