Responding to a question earlier in the thread...

As long as you have to install an 802.11b network, you might be able to do what you want with one extra device. I just bought a device by Turtle Beach called an Audiotron. Sits up in my rec room, attached to the stereo there with RCA coax and hooked up to my in home ethernet. With a remote (could be replaced by iPronto, obviously), I can surf the mp3s and wavs on my computer 3 flights down--the A'tron catalogs and indexes all the mp3s it finds in shared directories on the local network. So, with my handy dandy remote (or presumably using the iPronto web browser), you can create playlists, call up songs by album, artist, genre, whatever. While I have mine hardwired via ethernet, no reason you couldn't hook one up to the 802.11b network you installed for the iPronto anyway... I think they run about $200-$300 or so. Its *not* a hard drive--it pulls the mp3s through the network on an as needed basis and buffers them for playback.
