Bose Wave/PC
The Bose Wave/PC was a system to play mp3 files and digital radio from a Windows PC. It was released in 2001 and based on the Wave Radio design. The system could find local radio stations based on one's zip code. The Wave/PC connects to the computer via a serial data cable and an audio plug directly into the sound card. Bose later upgraded to a USB cable, which did not need to be plugged into the computers sound card, though the option remained.
The system was reviewed to have good sound quality, however it was difficult to transfer commonly used files such as WMA. Furthermore, its high purchase price was a contributing factor to its limited success.

Famous quotes containing the words bose and/or wave:
“A woman is a sometime thing.”
—Du Bose Heyward (1885–1940)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
