TheyвЂ™ve created a great portal for those who want to play music through their Wii and at the low cost of $0.00 per month. MiiSkin01en.gif Use the Wii Remote to select the icons along the top to fine-tune your Miis face by.

You can also only skip three songs in any given hour вЂ“ though I found that if you simply refreshed the page it brought you to a new song right away.ДЄll in all IвЂ™m impressed with the folks at FineTune. Change your Miis face shape, hair color, and skin tone. The songs will always play in random order. The only real drawback I found was that you could not dictate the order of the songs in a playlist. The site streamed the entire playlist that I had created without interruption. Once my playlist was created I used the Wii to navigate back to, entered my newly acquired profile name and then selected the playlist that I had just created moments before. While the original number of songs allowed on my first playlist was limited to 45 I eventually added another 20 songs by logging back into my account and editing the original playlist. While this cannot be done on the fly through the Wii it was easy enough to do using my laptop by visiting, creating an account and then entering an artist to start the song selection process off with.ДЇrom there the site suggested similar artists and allowed me to select up to three songs from a playlist for each artist. The first two options worked flawlessly through the Wii however, what I really wanted was a bit more control over what we listened to ДЇrom the Wii player page you can search for a particular artist or tag, listen to featured playlists вЂ“or- enter your profile to listen to a playlist that youвЂ™ve created. Fortunately the folks at FineTune had the foresight to create the FineTune Wii player which is really just a Wii friendly page at. If you navigate to through the Wii Console you will encounter the same functionatlity issue that occurs with Pandora and Musicovery. FineTune takes it a step further by allowing users to select which of the artistвЂ™s songs they would like to hear and save playlists for future use. FineTune is similar to Pandora in that FineTune allows you to listen to music by a particular artist along with recommended music that is similar to the artist you have choosen. IвЂ™m assuming this wonвЂ™t be a problem once the final version of the Opera Browser is released later this April however, in the meantime I really wanted to find a way to play music through the Wii.ДЄfter a bit of online research I came across a post that referenced FineTune.

While there currently isnвЂ™t a music channel offered through the Wii I assumed the Opera Browser would allow us to stream music from one of the free music sites I usually visit like Pandora or Musicovery.ДЄlas, with the Opera Browser still in beta I was unable to get either of these sites to function correctly through the Wii. In the meantime I surmised we should be able to stream music to the living room using the Wii.

Seven months later and the Media Center PC upgrade is still a few months off (at least according to my latest budget).

Not an issue for CRT, LCD or projector users, of course.ДЄlso, I have no clue about FinetuneвЂ™s (future) business model.When Luke and I moved in to our new place last year I convinced him that a stereo system in the living room wasnвЂ™t necessary, rather we could upgrade our current computer to a Media Center PC and stream music and movie files from a server in the office to any other room in the condo.

If I left it on for hours to see the song titles and album covers of whatвЂ™s playing, IвЂ™m sure I would have the virtual shelf-full of stacked albums + the enormous Opera controls embossed into my plasma screen for good. Libraries seem quite exhaustive, from indie to recent pop to some old school hiphop. But decent enough for even quite loud background listening. The streaming audio quality over public internet is of course as it is, not really hifi grade. I did though, and that seemed to open more exhaustive tag-based and artist searches.

Open Internet Channel aka Opera (get it from Wii store channel for free, if you havenвЂ™t yet)ДЇor some reason you even donвЂ™t have to register to get basic streaming at once.

I just couldnвЂ™t choose and the issue didnвЂ™t hurt enough вЂ“ I do have a few CDs I like. And probably hundreds of niche solutions more.

Got a tip from our unofficial Wiitards of Skype multichat that accidentally solved a problem IвЂ™ve pondered about for years but never have really come around to solving: an online digital music library played on where it should вЂ“ the proper hifi / home theatre setup in the living room.
