Wireless audio players

[Shock]

I don't know if this is the right forum to post this, but I was wondering if anyone has any advice for someone interested in purchasing a wireless music player.

When throwing a little shindig, i prefer to stream all the music wirelessly to my receiver, however one of my roomates just moved to New York, and thus took his Apple Airport with him.


Does anyone know of any cheap wireless audio players? Preferably under 150 CDN.

If you have an iPod, look at the DLO Music Station. It comes with an RF remote that synchs to the iPod and shows the tracks, playlists, genre, etc. The range is really good and it hardwires to the stereo but if you want to take it to another room, all you need is another 1/8"-RCA Y cord.

I'd like to know too. I'm a creative user, but this would be handy for parties and get togethers.

If I wanted to stream from my computer, the Airport Express would be the one I'd use. Roku has some good features, Squeezebox is as much as 4 Airport Expresses but if low price is the main goal (aside from streaming), the Airport is the leader as long as access to the computer isn't needed. If you want to make up the order of play on the fly, either a laptop controlling a network drive, the DLO/iPod or the more expensive options will probably be needed. Unless you have a network-enabled receiver and an external hard drive., like a Denon AVR-3809CI.
