Other downside of going with the iPod solution is that hooking it up is more of a hassle. You probably want a dock which will add significantly to the cost and docks with digital output are few and far between (not that the OP cares about digital out right now, but he might in the future). iPeng is an awesome way to extend the usefulness of Apple hardware you already have and might want for a variety of uses. But if you're looking to buy an iDevice to use *solely* as a squeezebox, then you're probably better off buying a real squeezebox (like an SB3). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97106 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
