Wireless Digital Music Centers

I picked up a Dlink media center and it's a sad thing. Here's why.

1. You need to have the TV on to navigate around to play music.
2. Dlink never did reveal how to encode video to play proper on the box so it never fulfilled it's role as a media center in my book.

-> Now I have a Netgear wireless MP3 player that will probably be fine since you don't need the TV on to play audio media remotely. It was also under 80 bucks which is fine. The PC in another part of the house will hold the MP3 and such.

Sonos must currently outsell Olive as it sells through A/V slightly higher end dealers. My local dealer sells Sonos but admits it still being a bit too geeky for full enjoyment. A music lover, my wish list waits for an Olive. Their disadvantage: fewer reviews, selling only direct through their San Fran US subsidiary of German company. But they're more sound fidelity oriented and more stand alone oriented (without computer.) Gad, I would in a heartbeat if bucks were freely available. If rich, pay the home automation consultants many thousands for total tech wiring for home theater and umpteen zones (like beside the pool) and play with a Crestron remote toy.
