I have a few Squeezeboxes and really like them for distribution. Have one in the garage, one hooked to the big basement stereo, and a boombox version in the kitchen.

They all connect up to wifi, and can play sync'd or separately. We usually use Pandora on them, but they will connect up to several other services or a music libary on a computer. Their output quality is quite a bit better than most laptops/cheap soundcards put out, and they are standalone devices.

I have a big collection of a couple thousand CDs I ripped at 320 to a drive, and I rarely use it because I kinda like not knowing what's next and having kinda whatever come up.
