I started my my digital music odyssey with this combination (OK, Winamp with AJAX plugin and iTunes instead of Squeezeplay) and was very frustrated after a while. It's something which do work ... in some way ... but ... you feel it in many places that it is not an fully intergrated solution. And I had annoying dropouts on the Airport Express. Would it be better if I had switched to a complete Apple solution? That was not the way I want to go. I'm now happy SB3 user and enjoy a simple to use and flexible music player served by a VIA C7 based system. Personal demands can be so different. You're right, the inferface could still be optimized. Sometimes I do also struggle in the different access types, but it's already much better than the classic skin. And do not forget the upcoming V8 version. New game :) I feel much better with an open software product instead of an closed software which could be stopped from one day to the other without any further support. -- jo-wie SB Classic, SC 7.3.2 auf GigaByte STA/C mit VIA C7 1GHz, 1GB RAM, 250 GB 2,5" HD, Ubuntu Desktop 8.04 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jo-wie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17952 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60755 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
