"Baidu may be China's search stalwart -- but it has been quietly developing various options in the entertainment industry as well.\r\n\r\nThe company already owns a Baidu Music app \u2014 which is available only within China \u2014 with several million songs within its database that have received the necessary copyrights, and synchronizes with 17 music lists including Billboard Hits and the UK chart.\r\n\r\nRecently, Baidu released a wireless music streaming box that lets you play songs via its music app, as well as other music apps on the market -- which means you can gather all your songs together wirelessly into a hub, then play them without having to access your individual apps. The wireless music streaming box can be connected to speakers as well, so it acts as a nifty add-on to consumers' living rooms.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFor just CNY99 ($16), the wireless music streaming box is a practical media hub for all your songs. It supports Airplay on iOS devices, as well as DLNA and Qplay\u00A0on other devices including a series of Android smartphones.\u00A0The first 20,000 units of Baidu's music box are up for sale on e-commerce site Jingdong, as first spotted by Tech in Asia.\r\n\r\nLast year, Baidu rolled out a series of media devices -- including\u00A0a HDMI TV plugin today that seems to be a clone of Google\u2019s Chromecast, as well as a\u00A0USB WiFi dongle and a wireless router.\r\n\r\nHeadline image via Liu Jin/AFP/Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
