Best Wireless Music Player, but cheap?

[tbergman]

After reading about Linksys' new wireless music kit I started wanting something like this for myself. Now I don't need anything nearly this expensive or with as many features. I'm hooking up my music with my HT speakers only. I've narrowed down the playing field to a few things that sound like they'd work great.

Apple AirPort Express- $99
Apple AirPort Express w/ iPod Touch- $329
Roku Soundbridge- $200
Squeezebox Classic- $300
Squeezebox Duet- $400

These are all remote controlled with the exception of the AirPort Express which you need to control from the computer or from an iPhone/iPod Touch so I included that pricing as well which makes it's control and price comparable to the Duet. Now the question for everyone out there, what have you used and how did you like it? I don't want anything that is going to be terribly "glitchy" or unreliable.

Thanks for any input,
Travis

Edit: All of my music is on iTunes currently so that makes the AirPort an attractive choice already for me, but I understand it would be a turnoff for others.

Well, AirPort Expresses can be had under the $99 MSRP so I think I may pick one of those up and see how well it streams off my laptop. If that works out, I'll probably pick up the Touch to use as a remote for it plus it's other fun stupid apps and I'll have an mp3 player to boot.

I have a windows based laptop, D-Link wireless router and could not get the Airport Express to work on my home network. (I earn my keep in IT and) After spending 12+ hours over 3 days, I returned it.

This alternative looks pretty good too...
