I think many of us use a wifi extender, plugged in somewhere near your audio gear, with an ethernet cable from it straight into the BDP. To transfer an album for me is a minute or two. But I usually buy music in groups of 6-10 albums, so any wifi transfer is a bit too slow, in that case I normally just shut down the BDP, take my HD upstairs and plug into my computer, and download the music directly from it to the HD - much faster. Take it back to the BDP, re-boot, and update the database, and you're good to go.
