njoy listening to digital music files (i.e.MP3s) in any room in your home. NETGEAR's MP101 digital music player connects your existing home stereo to your home computer network, so you can listen to your MP3 and WMF digital music files with the great sound quality of your stereo speakers. Easy-to-install, the MP101's software automatically finds all your music files by title, artist, album, genre or playlist on any networked PC or laptop. The software then collects them into one complete database.

Although that is a resonable price, I wouldn't bother parting with my cash. I'd rather just have my music blasting

As it is at the moment. Cheaper, although the neighbours don't like it, but she's at work so pah!

Does the same job as this and takes up many times the room

and if you have an apple Airport as the base station, this is a repeater and this has a USB printer server on board and it can be plugged into any ethernet cable to create an onthego wireless network, and it is the size of a couple of packets of cigarettes.

Yea, they used the US picture on the UK site - dumb huh, it ships with a UK 3pin in the UK and a EU round pin in Europe, or you can pull that off and there is a standard 8 shaped plug internally - this is what I did with my US purchased one.

It might be apple but it talks to my Linksys WRT54G perfectly.

Not a bad price at all, but how the hell are you supposed to select an artist when you cant see the screen? I may be ignorant here, am i missing something.

You use your PC to control it. When installed you get a new option in the bottom right of the iTunes screen allowing you to choose MyComputer speakers or the name of the AirPortExpress speakers (e.g. Front Room). iTunes then plays the tunes out to the location selected.
