Looking for a device that is able to stream music from my PC to stereo with AV in via Ethernet and possibly display the song being played or has the ability to select tracks from the playlist.
are there any cheap options?

1243334 2011-11-14 00:23:00 Maybe an apple tv (uses the TV though). Else you'd have to look at MP3 players (with wifi) or Logitech Squeezeboxes ($400+) or Sonos ($$$$$$) psycik (12851)

1243336 2011-11-14 05:49:00 I solved the navigation screen problem by buying a 14" TV with remote from St Vincent de Paul's, cost $40

The Composite Video from the media player (a WD TV HD) goes to the 14" TV so that I can navigate the menus. The Audio goes to an aux input on the receiver/amplifier.

(someone gave me a proper video monitor to do the job but I found it essential to have a remote to turn it off and on)
