who didn't have a box to check if it is printed on it. IMHO this is a good indication that a Computer needs to be available. I don't expect this discussion to come to any consent. For me it was clear that i would need a server running. But as i intended to play my own mp3s how should it get to them otherwise ;). I checked before buying that it would run with linux. The surprise for me was, that it insisted to create a mysqueezebox.com account. In fact i started to research which functions are only available if mysbs is there. I don't trust services in "the cloud"/internet to be available all the time an ininitly and expect to own the SBS longer than two years. the client server model of SBs has the drawback to require the server part. I think its historical. Today one would probably put a bit of intelligence into the device an then sync/add features with a server. I work in IT i've seen cruder stranger and older kludges. Client-Server is a well proven good enough desing for me. If the product doesn't meet your expectation return it (at least in germany that would be easy and possible). Maybe a different product will meet all your wishes, maybe it will lack something else. -- fragfutter You're obviously not a Linux person. If you were, you'd know that the most important feature of a GUI is the icon that opens a shell window. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ fragfutter's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35184 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76875
