I downloaded TVersity (free), which works fine. None of my music is DRM'd, so I don't have any issues there. Music and photos work perfectly. The only issue I have with music is that I can't seem to figure out how to do playlists (yet). Video works, but it must be transcoding the avi files (divx) to something .... horrible, because the quality sucks. For video, I pop the movies onto a USB thumb drive, and pop the thumb drive into my divx-capable receiver and watch 'em that way (it's a $200 home-theater-in-a-box from Wal-Mart, but boy I love that feature of it). -- I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my wife. And I wish you my kind of success. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:283330 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
