    Which wireless music player?

    I am looking for a wireless music player to stream music from my computer to my lounge, and have looked at these two, the Netgear MP101 and the Philips Streamium SL50i.

    I think that the SL50i looks much nicer than the Netgear but was wondering if either was any good, or does anyone recommend another one?

    I am looking to spend around 100 pounds on it.

    Thanks for any help.

    I recommend you spend a little bit more and get the best - Squeezebox 2.

    Advantages -

    . better file format support (FLAC, Apple Lossless, AIFF, WAV, MP3, WMA, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, MPC etc.)
    . 802.11g networking (fewer drop-outs)
    . open source server software with vibrant developer community e.g. excellent support in online forums, lots of plugins
    . high-quality DAC
    . connect to Internet radio streams without having to switch your server PC on
    . is the only product the company (SlimDevices) makes i.e. guaranteed support

    Take a look at their website for further details - http://www.slimdevices.com/.

    ~£189 (Multitask Computing, Broadbandstuff...)

    I honestly think it is the best £190 you can spend on a wireless music system.
