Roku SoundBridge

My dad and I got my mom a Roku SoundBridge for her birthday. I hooked it up today, and was really impressed with it. Once connected to your home network (via wired Ethernet or WiFi), the SoundBridge finds all machines with iTunes sharing enabled and makes their music libraries available to be played on your stereo. You can browse your library using the remote, and when you find a song, you can either play it immediately or queue it. Everything just worked, even a software update (the SoundBridge unit downloads and installs updates seamlessly). It will be nice to have the SoundBridge when I go home for Christmas, because as soon as I connect my G5 to the network, my entire music library will be accessible in our living room.

If you are looking for a way to play your iTunes library on your home stereo, I highly recommend the SoundBridge.
