Now that the SD card has been opened up for storage, the time is now (although, it's really late to the game) for Nintendo to create a Music channel for playing music from CD's or from digital music files (MP3, MP4, etc). Now, most real hardcore gamers most likely have an Xbox360 or PS3 which already have these multimedia functions, but the casual market who only have a Wii could benefit.

I am not so sure why Nintendo refuses to add such functionality. I know it's a game console first; however, every console now is a multimedia machine. The Wii already has a photo channel that can play a limited amount of videos (of which should be expanded...). Why not a music channel?

I am sure I am not alone in this thinking... at least I hope so. I may not even use it, myself, but again, I am not the pure target market for it as I have an Xbox360, PS3 and even a computer integrated into my home theater/gaming rig... but there are a massive number of Wii owners that would benefit...
