well one's in the garden actually.

dead easy to set up although Roku were sold to Pinnacle. Pinnacle didn't get the liscense for iTunes, so you need to download a firmware upgrade for it to work with itunes, but still very easy.

Another product worth looking at is the Squeezebox.

...can thoroughly recommend the squeezebox (slimdevices.com). I have one of the first ones which is failry basic but the 2 and 3 are meant to be very good and have all the toys.

If you go to the bottom link you will see if you scroll down a schematic drawing of what it does. It very simply allows you to play your music which may be sitting on your computer in Itunes etc and play it in your living room through your stereo!

Simple see!!

P.S I was once clueless and with that description will prbably be told i still am!

Cos you don't want to be faffing about with i pods, connecting it to the rear of a HiFi etc, when you can have one of these in any room you like.. and hey presto!

You can access musci from one point anywhere in your house!

I went for a couple of these Kensington Stereo Docks to connect my iPods to my hifi's. Not bad for £16.99 each and they keep your iPods charged up.

So is there anyone else out there who doesn't have an ipod, or is it just me?
