kaefer - nice alternative! my problem is that all of my music is still on cd so i have to rip it (i'm a firm believer in copyrite law, not that others aren't). if i had it all on my pc already i'ld be into this setup (linksys media adapter) for $51 and be done! Ripping all of that music is going to take awhile, i'm not looking forward to it, but it's the better alternative than having 800 cd's in my living room...

have a good weekend everyone, i'm off to Ocean City MD....
