I would have to think that it would integrate with the airport express. You'd hook that to your system, and the iPod would stream to that wirelessly. So, it would be it's own remote. The airport express certainly won't have the sound quality of a Squeezebox, but I suspect it will be enough for a lot of people. I'm not sure about all the comments of 'how Apple lets you play your music'. You can play your own ripped music however you want, just like a Squeezebox. Certainly, they don't have support for FLAC or OGG or other some of the other formats, so it would be less flexible the a Squeezebox, but it would have both lossy and lossless formats. Having one thing that is both your portable music player and the full color remote for your stereo system player would certainly be a draw for a lot of people, I think... Ben (edit) I agree with the comment above. The Squeezebox will certainly still appeal to folks how won't top end sound quality and don't like MP3, AAC, or ALAC. Slimserver is certainly more flexible as well with it's plugins. -- Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ben's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=54 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21033 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
