How to stream music through Tivo

Does it really have to be so difficult? I seem to remember the CEO of Motorola waxing poetic early in 2004 about "liquid media," that elusive, end-to-end solution where you buy some content, and you almost effortlessly push said content to any device you own. And then we get the gotchas: as long as it's from Motorola, or as long as it's from iTunes, or as long as it Plays for Sure... Who cares! I want my Family Guy on my wrist watch! Yeah, well until then, luckily we have Engadget to pour on the knowledge. This time it's making your Tivo play all sorts of music from your PC. And not just recorded stuff, but pretty much anything. Sirius radio, Yahoo music, you know, all that DRM'ed nonsense. To top it off, they're bypassing Tivo's lame desktop server app, because it will just die sometimes. Instead, they've rolled up SHOUTcast, Winamp, and Galleon to give you those sweet sounds you've been missing. On your TV. Go figure.
