Does this gadget exist?

Right now I have my laptop sitting on top of my living room stereo.
It connects via WiFi to my tower with a hard drive full of .Mp3 files.
Files flow over the WiFi to Winamp on my laptop which is plugged into the Aux jack of my living room stereo.
This way I can listen to my Mp3s around the house without having to move my tower all over the house.

Problem is I don't like having my laptop tethered to my stereo and I don't like having sitting around like a piece of furniture.

Is there a device(copyright by me pending)that consists of a wireless network card and memory and a winamp like application and a soundcard?

This seems like a simple combination of components that would be quite small and do just what my big ole laptop is doing right now.

Turtle Beach makes a deck component, the name of which I forget. It uses a wired LAN to stream audio from a server (mp3's, shoutcast stream, whatever), and plays it on your stereo.

Devices that play MP3's off a LAN that look like home stereo equipment and have their own remote are becoming more and more common. Go down to your local Radio Shack and ask around. :up:

Really I'm thinking of something more "palm" sized.
An entire component for $300 seems like a little much for what were talking about here.
