Sorry if I was unclear - you're describing the Rocketfish solution or
something like it - no cables, wireless, not FM, etc.  This is not an
endorsement - saw them at Best Buy one day and remembered them.

Given this is a Squeezebox forum, most of us here are biased towards
the Squeezebox since we've decided it meets our needs.  There may be
more familiarity with alternative solutions on general audio forms such
as Audio Asylum.  Please don't take this as discouragement from looking
at the Squeezebox solution - I love mine and use it daily, sync'ing
songs from my kitchen to the bedroom to my office as I move throughout
the day, scrobbling everything to last.fm, using it to listen to NPR
Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, when my wife and I have time in the evening
playing cribbage instead of when we are running around Saturday morning,
etc.

With the exception of snyc'ing you can probably do 95-100% of that with
Albumplayer - not sure how it handles podcasts or scrobbling if it
does.

On the otherhand, I have a spare server in my basement.  I guess having
a 'spare' server basically means I'm enough of a geek to deal with any
software and setup issues.  Which have been minimal, but have on more
than once occasioned the use of fancy language (cursive).  All in all,
my setups been stable over the last four upgrades, with the exception of
having to reset a receiver or the controller a couple of times a year.

Anyway - if you can check out the Rocketfish and let us know what works
and what doesn't - price, setup, etc. - maybe someone will know of an
alternate.
