[http://wiki.xmms2.xmms.se/wiki/Main_Page] Other possibilities is a UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) server and clients. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UPnP_AV_MediaServers] Some modern stereo equipment (e.g. Philips Streamium) has ethernet/WiFi capability and can play material from a UPnP media server. So you could have your music/video library on a server, with your stereo playing music from that library over a wireless link. Cool eh? I'm not sure if these things fall in the "simple" category, though. :-) Especially if there's wifi involved as well.
