<div>I think that the Squeezebox <a href="http://www.slimdevices.com/">http://www.slimdevices.com/</a> is a brilliant option. It is can be either ethernet only (cheaper) or ethernet/Wi-FI (slightly more). I have two - and they are brilliant. One is connected to my (relatively) high-end valve amp hi-fi and the sound quality is great and the other in the bedroom. I run the slimserver on my Myth backend (which is always on) and you can either select music with the remote (works well) or a web interface. It also connects to the Internet for Internet Radio, and includes pre-sets for things like Radio 4, Virgin Radio, etc - which saves having radios. You can even synchronise playback so music playing from different rooms is in sync.
</div><br>It's not the cheapest option though.</div>

<div>Congrats on the new baby - (and taking this even more OT) since you are paranoid about health risks from WiFi - make sure you buy baby bottles that are not made from polycarbonate - google bisphenol-A for more info.
