Yes, you are right. After Erland's post, I can see where I went totally overboard with what it could be. The more I thought about it, anybody that cares about the rip process and wants full control over the process (i.e. what tools are used), they will already have a setup. And they can continue to use that setup by accessing the VortexBox via network share. agillis;539105 Wrote: > Also I'm not sure what advantage there sre in a partnership.

More business for you and probably less support headaches for Logitech. There would also be more instantly happy users and perhaps users that would feel comfortable making the plunge knowing that the mysterious server end will be covered by an appliance. agillis;539105 Wrote: > Also it would be to bad if we had to stop support for other devices such > as Sonos.
