Advantages of the Freecom MusicPal
The Freecom MusicPal is the optimal solution for private home entertainment. The
uncomplicated installation and configuration enables you to use Freecom MusicPal
within a very short time. By connecting to a router or media server (UPnP) through LAN
or WLAN it‘s as easy as winking to play your locally stored music files by means of the
media server (UPnP). The Freecom MusicPal also enables you to hear Internet Radio
programmes without any problem. Most of the Freecom MusicPal functions can be used
at once, with little previous knowledge.
The sound quality depends on the bit rate of the radio stream or of the MP3 files. The
basic rule is that the higher the bit rate, the better the sound quality. On Internet Radio
higher bit rates also cause a higher data traffic over your Internet connection. In case
your Internet connection does not have sufficient bandwidth, then there may be inter-
ruptions during playback.
