So what they really want is a Squeezebox connected to a service like Rhapsody via SqueezeNetwork(or Napster or Spotify if they were available). Then you could just plugin your SB, connect to SN and then select the music you want to listen to. No server, no hard disc, no hassle. Even if the SB did have a harddisc you would still need to rip and store the music. Makes me wonder all the more why Logitech are so slow to implement Napster when Rhapsody continues to alienate 95% of the world!! -- mattybain '[image: http://imagegen.last.fm/recenttracks3/recenttracks/MattyBain.gif]' (http://www.last.fm/user/MattyBain/?chartstyle=recenttracks3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mattybain's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52559 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
