There's also the Linksys WMB54G.  Nearly every networking equipment
maker has one now.

Really a lot of these products have all the functionality of A Really
Long Audio Cable (tm).  Some are a bit more advanced than others but
almost all here would agree none of them match the sound quality and
flexibility of the Squeezebox.

There's a reason the Squeezebox costs what it does.

Going upmarket there's Sonos and Olive Musica, but if you think the
Squeezebox is expensive wait until you see those things.  Then you will
appreciate how economical the Squeezebox actually is...Note neither one
will be audibly superior than the Squeezebox.  Sonos has a great
remote, is very robust and ideal for multiroom setups but has a very
closed, inflexible architecture.  Until recently, you couldn't even use
your own amplifier.  The Olive Musica is just like putting everything in
a single box and marking it up substantially.  You get an
underperforming, specialized PC and a smallish hard drive that can't be
upgraded, all for a substantial premium.  Also very closed and
inflexible.
