I have been considering setting up a wireless network in my house anyway, so this might be a great reason to do so now.
I had asked about a discman/mp3, but what about a device capable of receiving an mp3 or other sound stream from a pc over a wireless network? Then I could take that signal and run via RCA to the receiver/amp.
It can be a totally dumb device; the computer I would stream from is just a room away, and I could just set up a 8 hour play list and be good for the night. Of course, controls that would let me choose songs and files and the like would be great, but is probably too much to ask.
I looked around but didn't see anything like that.
Does something like that exist?
Thanks,
Matthew

Yes, I have mixed feelings about them as well.
The head unit in my car is a Sony. They tend to have the nicest looks but dubious quality. It was top of the line when I bought it but is starting to konk out now. To be fair, it is 5.5 years old.
That car unit I was talking about is SLICK, though. Has a finish that reminds me of the ship in "flight of the navigator"(wow, way back).

But did they call it the Pirate MX? It's all about the marketing, ya see :)
I'd check out the Sony, but I have vowed to never buy anything that has the name Sony on it for the rest of my life. It's actually one of the only absolutes I can claim being stored in my head right now: Sony equals always bad. Call me a bigot.
I take that back though, I have a pair of their DJ headphones - dey be da shit mon. Sony equals almost always bad then I guess :)
