Hi-Fi with Wi-Fi

Hey all,
Has anyone experience of Hi-Fi's with Wi-Fi already built in?

I'm looking for a new Hi-Fi for my daughter, and would like to get it with Wi-Fi in so she can play the MP3s we have. She has an iPod, but thats not the point

I found the LinkSys WMLS11B, but then quickly found reviews that said it was awful - but for a 10 year old girl, it would probably be OK. However, supply in the UK seems to be non-existant.

Any ideas? Or is my only option a Hi-Fi and buy a seperate WiFi adaptor?

If you're looking for an integrated unit then Philips do one ( Philips MCW770 Wireless Micro Audio Player). Which looks good but is £280

A docked iPod (or connected via the dock connector anyway) makes a great Jukebox and saves having a PC on all the time and fussing with wireless networks and server software.

I have both wireless network MP3 players and a docked iPod - if your collection will fit on the pod (or what she wants to hear) then that is a much lower hassle solution.

Thats exactly what I'm after - but as you say, £280 notes (or about £240 from other suppliers). Just a tad on the expensive side for a hifi for a 10 year old.

I'm begining to think the same.
