Case in point is the Logitech Wireless DJ Music System: The $250 system is anchored by a wireless remote control with a built-in LCD readout that allows you to access and navigate digital music files on your PC or the Internet and hear them on your home stereo. Unlike competing audio devices that stream PC audio over a home network, the Logitech Wireless DJ broadcasts music from a wireless transmitter that plugs into your PC's USB port. The audio is sent to a small receiver that can be placed elsewhere in your home and plugged into any stereo system with a free auxiliary input. The receiver doubles as a charger/cradle for the Wireless DJ's third and most important component, the wireless remote control.

I think they need to promote the ease of setup since this system avoids the network setup issues that some potential customers might be afraid of. I'd also like to see some details regarding the frequency this runs at since the 2.4 Ghz spectrum seems awfully crowded.

After a disaster of a first Digital Music Player - the Netgear MP101 - I think this is going to be my second attempt.

One of my "requirements" is that the remote must do it all. The wife has edicted that all electronics in the living room/kitchen area are hidden from site. -- So that leaves out squeeze box &amp; Rakio (sp).

I really like that you can use the "native" players to get around DRM issues.

Does anyone know when this is scheduled to go on sale??
