But it -IS- a PC! People are already doing this with thier PC's all over the world. Can't you see? It's a PC (some form of Linux) with a fancy frontend/skin for a media player. There is nothing innovative about this. You could make a full screen skin for Winamp to do that. I'm not saying it's not good, but its vasty (and i mean MASSIVELY VASTLY) overpriced and over hyped. You can stick a sail on top of a car and tripple the price, but it's still just a car! -- autopilot *SlimServer Version:* 6.5 - Windows XP. *Amp:* Cambridge Audio 640a (living room) / Denon MD30 (bedroom). *Speakers:* Mission 701's (living room) / Kef Cresta 1's (bedroom). *Remote:* T-Mobile MDA Vario / Sony PSP / Cambridge Audio Explorer (IR). *Clients:* 1 Squeezebox3 + Softsqueeze. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ autopilot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28499 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
