Wanted to listen to some of my MP3s on the main sound system but don't want to burn to cd or copy to the Iriver. Also sick of copying single episodes of favourite TV shows to a CD then putting it in the DVD player (it plays DIVX etc).
Some thinking and searching and found a way to stream to the Amp/TV using our wireless network and the WII. Only things required were Winamp and a browser for the WII.
Installed Winamp on my PC and the latest version has a remote plugin that allows you to set your PC as a server to stream to the web. Set that up and created my account on Winamps Orb site, tested with the wired network and all OK. Able to stream Videos and MP3 from my PC to others in the house.
Wii on the internet and had to buy the browser from the WII shop for 500 points ($7.50). Made a favourite page as a page on my server which has a link to the Winamp remote site. Signed in and set to remember and now can watch all those episodes of "Shaun the sheep" and listen to my MP3s.
Good thing about it too is that it defaults back to the home network if we are on the same network so instead of streaming out over the Internet and back it just goes from my wireless access point to the WII so doesn't affect my download/upload.
Very nice

You definately will need to get the Internet channel on the Wii to get anything to work
