Finetune, an online music service that enables you to create and share personalized Internet radio stations has a Wii friendly version of the website.  If you point your Wii Opera Browser to http://finetune.com/wii/ you’ll be listening to streaming internet music in no time.

Although this service was pretty cool, the streaming quality was average, as to be expected.  What we’re aiming for here at Wii Media Center is a high(ish) quality solution to streaming media from another computer in the house, to the Nintendo Wii and into your TV, and we won’t rest until we’ve found the best  a solution.
