Need some help in attempting to get up to date with modern technology!

I currently have a Linn Classik/Monitor Audio S6 combo and very happy with the sound, I also have a fair amount of stuff on laptops/Ipods and am wondering what the easiest/best way is to integrate them?

Ideally, the solution would not involve me having to have the laptop on all the time and have some possible future multi room possibilities for when the miniMadness's want to listen to music in their rooms.

A few bits of info. I like itunes and would rather use that, files are a mix of lossless and 320k, a reasonable budget would be nice (ideally under 1k)and the less obvious boxes and wiring the more liklihood of approval from OC House and Plans!

Fantastic system - v easy to use and setup, great sound and very scaleable. Ticks all the boxes really!

Put all of the laptop files onto a NAS drive (£100), get a Sonos ZP90 to plug into your current amp, add a Sonos wireless iPod dock and away you go!
Looks good

Would this allow different zones to stream different tracks at the same time from one NAS drive?

Can you select tracks without having a different remote in each room? Whilst remote looks nice I don't fancy buying 3 or 4!
