Hey Mark, I'll answer your questions in order: Yes, our system will retrieve your music files on your main computer over your WiFi network. You also have the option of plugging in an ethernet cable if you have some issue with WiFi in a particular location. For an analog connection from a TV or any other device with an audio output, there is a 1/8" (3.5mm) jack on the front of the AxiomAir system. You can control the tracks with our user interface that is available on any web browser. Looks like you figured out the hotspot. Any device that is connected to the network where AxiomAir resides (the hotspot or your home WiFi network) can bring up the interface. So yes, each user will have access to the interface. Thanks for your questions and comments! Andrew

Fantastic, Andrew! Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I've never really made any use of products to stream audio. I spend my days in front of a traditional system, and have systems in every other room I spend any time in at all. But the AxiomAir intrigues me with it's well-thought out capability. I just might have to try to find a use for one!

Thanks for clarifying Ian. I knew Axiom would never be as sneaky as this other campaign I mentioned. Your wording was just strikingly similar. Luckily, buddy at work here is only out $65.
EDIT: And done. Summer on the deck will finally have tunage without dragging M60s out the door.

Great looking product - congratulations on all of your hard work. The M3 heart of the system should really sound fine.
The tremendous capabilities of this unit really highlights what kind of a dinosaur I am. I still play only CD/SACDs & have never downloaded nor streamed music ever.
I wouldn't know where to begin!! So I'll start with one burning question. Since I have such a large collection of CDs, could my favourite few be just copied to a USB Stick & played that way? I realize that the files would be large & would eat up USB space pretty quickly.
Any hints on getting into downloading or streaming music (I can't believe that I'm making such a leap!!) would be appreciated...

I am very interested in backing the project. A few questions.
I have a good 2TB of music in FLAC sitting on a Synology NAS. Right now I am using the Synology DS Audio to stream music to my iPad and Nexus tablet. I know I am not getting the best sound out of that but it's wireless. I also have a windows HTPC running FooBar2000 that maps to my music share.
How does the AxiomAir connect to a network computer? or NAS? am I setting it up in the same wifi and then putting in my login credentials using CIFS or SMB or AFP?? You mention on the kickstart about UPnP but that would be a method to stream to the unit from another user interface device. When I am sitting outside 'chillin' I'd still want the best sound quality possible. Does the Air act as the central processor pulling the music from the sources, or is it just a receiving device with a speaker/amp to simply play the music?
Lot's of questions all in there... but might as well get the technical out the way as I am taking the leap with knowledge and experience with your other products that it will sound good.

Mark, I'll be using it on the deck, at the park, at work, at friends' places,...
BTW, it looks like Ian didn't ask for enough money :-).
