Wireless Music/Media Player Roundup?

robmueller asks: "Like most of you here on Slashdot, I've got my entire music collection on my PC, and would like to share it around the house to at least my lounge room stereo. While the AirPort Express is still a month away (mid July), and the lack of a remote control seems like a problem for a stereo away from the computer, there's a number of other devices out there already; D-Link DSM-320, Squeeze Box, Actiontec, Virtuoso MC-500 (uh... looks like the Actiontec), and a standard 'we hooked it up for 5 minutes' review of several more devices here. However, I want to hear from people who have actually used one, and what they liked, didn't like, ease of use, audio only, is audio & video useful? etc. So who's using one of these things?"

The fact still remains ..

Songs bought from iTMS can only be played on your stereo using Airport Express.

So I'm happy to wait the three weeks until it arrives, as iTMS + Airport Express + Bluetooth Phone + Sailing Clicker + Powerbook is just ubercool.

Or in other words: "It really whips the llama's ass"

To TV or not to TV

The problem that I've found with most of the remote streaming devices is that they need to have a television nearby to control them. As a person who finds television mindnumbing and don't even own one, is there a good streaming product that doesn't need a TV at all? Perhaps one with it's own graphics display to show cover art when browsing?
