By Rick Broida (wired.com)

The Sonos Digital Music System streams music from your PC and the Internet to any room with a base station, a pair of which come in the Bundle 130. A kick-ass wireless remote determines which music goes where - you can queue up different tunes for ...

Plucks music from multiple PCs. Works with various online music stores. You can serve up to 32 rooms by buying more receivers. iPod-inspired remote simplifies navigation

Two years old and it's still a thousand bucks? Won't play DRM-protected iTunes purchases, only WMA format. Pandora might disappear owing to newly imposed royalties ; thank you, Copyright Royalty Board
