IcerocketWiiTunes—Play Your iTunes Library From the Living Room

The Wii may not come with as many whiz-bang media-center features as the Xbox 360 or PS3, but there are still plenty of ways to use the little guy as a pretty solid living room entertainment center via the built-in Opera Web browser.
There are plenty of applications that let you stream your iTunes library to other computers via a local network or the Web—but MyTunesRSS has the distinct advantage of being free and platform-independent. After some painless configuration settings, you can use the Wii's browser to access, search, and play your iTunes library from the comfort of the living room. Pretty cool. —John Mahoney

Fact is you can do most of this stuff with ANY Mp3 player unless it is hardware/firmware specific! I don't 'Pod Cast from my website, I ZuneCast! HA! Wake up! iPod's are not the greatest invention uSheep!

0 out of 0 people found this comment helpfulThe reason the iPod is more popular than the Zune is that it's been around six years longer. It's ubiquitous and until MicroSoft can come up with an open source format or add on features like wifi web browsing/song purchasing, the Zune will remain an also-ran to the iPod.
