I'd recommend Squeezebox
[http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_squeezebox.html]
and SqueezeCenter [http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html]
SqueezeCenter is open source and you can pickup a wireless Squeezebox
off of ebay for $100 or so.  Put one in each room and you can sync them
all to the same central music repository.
