Digital media adapters have failed to connect with consumers, according to a new study by Parks Associates (Dallas). The devices, which ship music and videos on computers for playback on TVs and stere- os, are often too expensive and difficult to use, a Parks analyst said. Only about 9 percent of U.S. homes with broadband connections have a stereo linked to their computer, and half of them make the connection with direct cables. About 28 percent of those homes use a wired or wireless digital media adapter, according to the report, "Digital Media Habits II," which studied media trends in the United States and Canada.
