Ask Engadget: How do you like to move media on WiFi?

You know, in 2005 if there's one thing we saw completely overrun the market with a total imbalance in favor of supply over demand, it's got to be devices and solutions for streaming media in the home. We're not saying we're not down, but man, everyone and their mother released a few of those devices. Which is good for someone like Steve, who wants your opinion:

There are so many WiFi media centers out there now, and I can't find a good (and recent) roundup of them anywhere. The coolest looking one (Linksys Media Center Extender) unfortunately has some pretty outlandish system requirements (namely the XP Media Center). What are my other options?

Most importantly, I want to be able to play music from my PC on my stereo. Getting video to my TV would be really nice, but not a dealbreaker if the device is inexpensive compared to those that do video. An LCD screen big enough to read and navigate from the couch -- or better yet, a video interface I can view on my TV, is important.

So, what do you say everyone? Besides the obvious answer (Sonos), let's give Steve some good ways move some media around the house wirelessly already!
