Thanks for all the comments so far. -I do not want to leave my computer powered on all the time. I'd rather just have an HD or NAS that can do the duty. And I want to make sure that my music is backed up. For me, I won't even start the project if back up isn't simple and fairly cheap. I don't want to waste my time with the possibility of loosing some or all of my work ripping thousands of files.
As you are probably aware, I'm not savy at all with computer audio. I like the Sonos product because it appears to be quite easy to set up and maintain with good wireless range. I'd like a way to do this cheaper, but I'm afraid it'll take a bunch of time that I don't have to give and that the end result won't have the ease of use that my wife will require. But, I am still open to any and all advice. Bring it on.
