Multi Room Digital Music

p1976

I have a large collection of music on my pc around 1000 albums, I am looking into Multi Room Digital systems, so far the best one I can see is Sonos but its pretty pricey, does anyone know a system which could accommodate me and which isn’t so dear, I would like to have my pc in my kitchen and then be able to play music in the living room, garden and bedroom
If anyone knew someplace i could get Sonos cheaper i would appreciate it as well
Thanks

This question come up time and time again. A suggestion is to use the Apple Airport with AirTunes. I haven't used it but it should work and won't cost the Earth.

You could also look at the Roku Soundbridge which will connect to your stereo (analogue and digital) has a display and a remote. It uses the network streaming options of iTunes and others. All you need is a wireless network or wired network if you prefer.

The iTunes idea is pretty good.

Yamaha had a musicast system, last time I looked, it was pretty dear.

Sonos does rock, in fairness

May be also worth considering.
