The DMA2200 is a great device, but it only really shines if you have a Vista Media Center HTPC solution in place - it's a Media Center Extender first and foremost. It also requires a TV connected and switched on so you can select music. It's aimed at a _very_ different market to the Squeezebox, and for me could never replace the flexibility, ease of use and quality of my Squeezeboxen. I'm all for putting pressure on SD to provide Napster support, especially for non-US owners who don't have the same choice of services, but the DMA2200 isn't a threat.

yep, Napster integration would be great. Pandora and Rhapsody don't work for me, and the Napster service looks pretty good. I just wish the streams were in slightly higher quality, but you can't have everything.

Having said that, Last.fm are currently trialing their on-request subscription service (it feels like it's been in beta for ages). This may be much easier to integrate onto the SB than Napster and, depending on the available library and quality, might be a better service. -- simbo simbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11481 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51128 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Napster integration
BTW. I really shouldn't worry. Logitech are currently going about improving the syncing of the players, one of the two areas where the Sonos product (far) outstrips the Logitech offering. I'm certain they'll be looking hard at providing Napster too, the other area. There's only two reasons I can think of to stop it being implemented: 1) Sonos have some sort of exclusive hardware deal with Napster 2) It need stuff done in firmware and there's not enough capacity Neither seem very likely.
