1. Dedicated iPhone, iPod Touch and Android applications that let you browse music and create playlists over a wi-fi or cellphone connection. 2. The ability to download playlists of tracks onto an iPhone, iPod Touch or Android phone and play the music off line. I am not sure if there is a limit to the number of tracks you can download. These are DRM protected tracks, so you can only listen to them on the one device - you cannot transfer or copy them. This makes the music totally portable for the car or where you do not have cell-phone or wi-fi connection. This is the "Napster killer" feature in my book. 3. Tracks are encoded at 320 kbps (IIRC Napster is 192). 4. A *Much* more user-friendly web interface (I have not tried the SB app so cannot comment on that). Er... thats it. Napster gives you 5 included downloads for your £5. Spotify does not have that, but then again you can play music off-line anyway so the benefit is limited. -- TheLastMan Matt *SqueezeBoxes:* SB Duet (Controller + two receivers) *Server:* Synology Diskstation 107+ NAS (with firmware 2.3-1157) running Squeezebox Server 7.5.1 on Synology Package Manager *Network:* Netgear DG834GT ADSL modem/router, 2 x Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 as access points *Livingroom:* Receiver into Naim 42/110 amp, B&W CM2 speakers *Kitchen:* Receiver into Denon DM37 mini-system, B&W 686 speakers *Study:* Linn LP12, Naim 72/Hi-cap/Headline.
