Hi Piers
Welcome to the list ......

Not sure on which hardware to use ..but a free pc software to use i would
suggest using xPL

as well as x10 control and other s theres a new xPLMediaNet plugin which
allows you to control

networked mp3 players such as Rio, Slimp3 ,Exstreamer.......

Check out the links

Good Luck
