I think its not advisable to keep the Wii on standby, it heats up excessively. I think its because the FAN is off but the Wii is still working. Kinda a design flaw IMHO.

you are right. One day I was messing around my consoles and foudn the wii to be incredibly hot. It really gave me a fright there as I've never experienced the wii at such temperature even after some extensive game play. Ever since then I disabled standby and never had the wii connected to the net unless done manually.

I've played MP3 for about 12 hours straight and the wii did not exhibit any sort of artifacts.

There's a simple 1 wire mod out there that will keep your wii's fan turned on even when standby, but only if wiiconnect is enabled.
