It would be better because that way I'd have one less device in my living room. Since my house is equiped with a 24/7 server I have no use for SC on an NMT. Where is that squeezeplay-style software on the NMT, I don't believe there is any. Oh yes, you can show what you're playing on the TV but I don't want that, I'd want the NMT to play the music controlled with an SBC. When I play music the TV is off.
