Music Streaming Tech Advice Please!

[andrewducker]

If I wanted a box I could stick in my kitchen that would stream music from any DLNA-compliant server, what would the best option be?

Must be all-in-one (nothing that needs added speakers), and have a reasonably simple interface.

My searches are showing up all sorts of things that plug into TVs, but no collection of things that are entirely stand alone. You'd think that "Stream your music to the kitchen" would be a selling point...

Note: I'm not looking for "Spend a large wodge of cash on Sonos" here. I'd like something standards compliant that will hook into my existing standards-compliant infrastructure.

As a low-end solution, that's actually pretty good. I generally can't be arsed with synchronising stuff a lot, but it looks like I could pick up a decent MP3 player for £45 and speakers for £25.

This is what we use in the car of course and we find that we gradually get more and more fed up of the music selection (quite slowly as it's a full iPod) but almost never get round to refreshing it. In the kitchen we have Airport Express plus old computer speakers, but I did like the look of the Squeezebox Radio if it also does iTunes.

Yeah, if I was an Apple house then it'd be Airport Expresses all round.
