NETGEAR MP101
This plugs into my stereo downstairs, connects via my WiFi network to a spare PC upstairs that contains all my mp3 files (all legal of course). I rip my mp3 files using iTunes (great encoder and mp3 tagger) and I use 3rd party media server software called TwonkyVision (cost me $10) to server the mp3s to the network. Twonkyvision can use iTunes database files to locate and name all the mp3s available and pass this info on to the MP101 downstairs.
Installation took less than 10 minutes from the courier arriving to listening to music (although you need some wifi knowledge unless using the crappy server software that comes with the box). I now have access to all 10,000 of my mp3s downstairs in full 192kps VBR Stereo
Box cost me £79 from Amazon so less than the cost of a semi decent CD player and the sound quality is awesome. Did I mention you can also access thousands of free internet radio shows?
