History
Network audio was first introduced in 1983 by John Detreville and W. David Sincoskie of Bell Labs in an IEEE paper "A Distributed Experimental Communications System". Subsequently in 1988, Polle T. Zellweger, Douglas B. Terry and Daniel C. Swinehart of Xerox PARC introduced audio over Ethernet in Proceedings of the 2nd IEEE Conference, entitled "An Overview of the Etherphone System and its Applications". Subsequently, the first Squeezebox, using networked audio, was released in 2001 and Philips released its IP audio device also in 2001, the FW-i1000. Countless IP audio devices have since proliferated into most major audio markets.
