Oh, you wanted more detail? Okay, so I just bought a Sonos Play:3 and Bridge unit. I've been looking for something forever that would stream music over wifi from my nas, and let me control what's playing with my Android tablet. It's been such an obsession that I've even learned to develop Android applications and read through the specifications of the DLNA protocol. Seriously. And then this Sonos company comes along and builds a slick product exactly to my wishes and desires.
The Good:
It works, and it's easy. The library software chewed through my collection (40k songs, ~300GB) in about 40 minutes. Very nice, as lots of software will choke on libraries that large (cough, iTunes, cough). The Android app is eminently usable. I just got it all set up this morning, and I'm already scheming on buying another Play:3 or Play:5 to add to the network. The bridge unit even has a two-port switch on the back, so it effectively doesn't burn a switch port.
The Bad:
I'm hoping the Android tablet app ends up looking more like the iPad app as they develop it further. From what I've seen, the iPad app is a beautiful multi-paned affair that looks basically like the Mac or Windows Sonos console. The Android app is perfectly serviceable, though.
The Ugly:
Found out my wireless router (an Actiontec MI424WR) won't propagate multicast between its wired and wireless interfaces, so I had to go buy an el-cheapo Linksys router (a WRT120N) and set it up as a layer 2 access point.
In Conclusion:
Update Jan 7, 2012: Downloaded Patton Oswalt's new album off Amazon this morning. Went and hit the "Update Music Library" button and hopped in the shower. It was done rescanning the entire library and had made the album accessible by the time I got out of the shower. With iTunes, I would've had to add the album manually, or delete and recreate my library from scratch over the course of about 8 hours. Sonos, you rock.
