AppleTV, PS3, Xbox, and others have been quite successful in the "multi-media" platform. But one of the most common reasons people do not choose these platforms for music is because they do not wish to run their 400 watt TV simply to select their next song. :)
There are other reasons to be sure (lacking Squeeze type flexibility, minimal codec support, poor audio outputs, etc..). The swiss army knife approach to any multi-tasking always comes with drawbacks, particularly for audio & video. Better to concentrate in one area, do it well, and keep it separate. This is precisely where the SB products come in to play in relation to music, just as the mentioned PCH comes in to play for video. If you want the best and most flexible of both, buy the best for each separately. If you want the "all-in-one" solution, be prepared for mediocre results.....somewhere. -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68947 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
