Well,

I just took the plunge, and have to say I am impressed. The longest part of the installation was downloading the .NET Framework from the MIcrosoft website (about 22MBs). After that was done, I had xPLRioNet up and running in under 10 minutes, and it was much less painful than setting up tRIO with JReceiver.

I particularly like the .xml file that has the Shoutcast information preconfigured...very nice. The web interface is not sexy, but it is very cool. You can power on, select music, select a shoutcast stream, adjust volume or mute, and power off each Rio receiver. I even accessed the web interface from my Sony Clie with a WiFi card via my home wireless network.

I will play with it a few days, and may even get rid of tRio/JRec. I am pretty good with HTML, so I might even try to spruce up the web interface a bit, especially to look nicer on a PDA screen.

I'll keep you posted...
