Hello,

What's the best way to connect my music to my home stereo so I can sit on my cough and select and play tunes (no TV hookup). I looked at Sonos and Logitech Sqeezbox but it isn't clear how this works with MC software or if I have to resort to other software (I'm bias toward JRiver).

I have been using a old PC that is connected to my stereo and using media server however, I'd like not to have to use the PC and just use uPNP that I've been reading about but I'm not sure what I'd be giving up.

It would be neat to be able to browse and play songs from a remote or wifi device like Zune, iTouch or other....

From reading the board, it looks like Popcorn is good for Video, et al through a HDTV but I'm not there yet. I just want to play tunes from my massive collection.

Any words of wisdom? Thank you very much!

Okay, I see the iPhone MC controller. That is cool. http://melloware.com/products/rivermote/

What is the best hardware then to connect as an input to the stereo? Would any upnp wireless device work?

Sorry.  I missed this yesterday.  Here's a link to UPnP on our Wiki:

There's a list of supported devices there.
