the mp3 bridge thing I would get

is this squeezebox thing

it uses open-source software, streams over wifi, and has a whole community of users that customize like crazy and write cool plugins for it.

you hook it up to your stereo, which is not bad cause it looks good.
then you setup the software on your computer and the box finds it easily and streams from the computer and plays over your killer speakers.

plugins are cool as hell. they range from email to weather to being able to stream video to whatever else you can think of.

it comes with a good remote, but it can also be controlled through any web browser, pocket pc, palm, series 60 OS cell phones, also certain universal remotes, pronto remote devices...

check out the community link

its really cool.
