ASUS O!Play Air Media Player

In an article we published last week that took a look at an easy solution to ripping your Blu-ray movies, we mentioned that the HTPC lifestyle is constantly growing, and for good reason. Today, it's not that expensive to build a modest HTPC capable of becoming a top-rate media streamer, and likewise, storage prices are almost laughable... 2TB for ~$100? Sheesh! Most often, an HTPC will be situated under or near a television, because until wireless display standards take off, most people are going to be connecting their television straight to it. For others, the idea of building a home server that's purpose is to stream media also seems tempting, and today, some TV's do have the ability to connect to a network, even wirelessly. But if you're happy with your setup now and don't find the need to spend more money, there are cheap solutions available that will allow you to stream your media to any television in your house. As long as you have a network, you can get this done rather easily. ASUS' O!Play is one such device, and will be the first of many like it that we'll be taking a look at. "Media Players" such as the O!Play seem to have become a fad, but it's not surprising.

Asus O!Play HDP-R1 Digital Media Player

Perhaps one the more significant defining digital attributes of the first decade of the the 21st Century could be the size of the ginormous digital media collections so many of us have amassed--media collections made of up a disparate assortment of video, photos, and audio files from a wide variety of sources. The advent of digital cameras and digital camcorders has converted many people into virtual shutterbugs and documentarians--collecting events from our lives, ranging from the mundane to the life altering. No longer encumbered by the time and cost of having to send film off to be developed and processed, the only seeming limitation is having enough storage space to hold all the content that we create. Many people also create digital copies of commercial movies, such as ripping DVDs; not to mention the increasing availability of downloadable movies and TV shows--from origins legal and otherwise. And lest we forget the large audio collections that many folks have amassed from ripping audio CDs as well as acquiring digital audio files (once again, via legitimate and other means).
