Media platform Elisa demonstrates that GNU and open source are eminently cool and cutely named. While you’ve got a host of full blown media centers for your Macs and Windows, Linux hasn’t got quite the breadth and reach. Elisa is universal—she’s non partial to platforms, and was built to be easy. She can run on desktops, game consoles and PDA’s. She’s compatible with iTunes, Zune, Windows Media Player, X-box and more. Basically, she’ll play all your media—DVDs, videos, music, Youtube, Flickr, radio-- without any fuss. Soon to come: TV viewing, integration with Intel’s ViiV devices, videoconferencing and VoIP.

“Elisa is an open source cross-platform media center solution designed to be simple for people not particularly familiar with computers.
Elisa aims at respecting the following principles:
- Be a universal solution, which allows browsing and watching videos, photos, music, and linked services easily.
- Be able to work on all types of computers (PC, Consoles, Internet tablets, etc.), to communicate with all types of devices (other computers, portable media players, etc.) and to read all types of media
- Allow the users to browse a whole range of on-line services (video, music or photo sites, blogs, information, games, weather, etc) from a single unified and easy entry point.
- Be easy to install, to understand and to use.
- Respect the principles of free software by placing Elisa under a free license, the GNU GPL (General Public License), and creating an active community of developers and users.”

Elisa has range. The platform not only covers most popular media formats, it also can handle lesser knowns as well. It works with other media devices so you’ll be able to manage them from within Elisa’s interface.
