for less than $1000! But i dont like that form factor at all, i would rather have a Tranporter and a better remote any day. Come on now, its nice but its vastly over priced. Get real. -- autopilot *SlimServer Version:* 6.5 - Windows XP. *Amp:* Cambridge Audio 640a (living room) / Denon MD30

to do that. I'm not saying it's not good, but its vasty (and i mean MASSIVELY VASTLY) overpriced and over hyped. You can stick a sail on top of a car and tripple the price, but it's still just a car! -- autopilot *SlimServer Version:* 6.5 - Windows XP. *Amp:* Cambridge Audio 640a (living room

It would make more sence to develop a remote with some cool custom proprietory software, rather than a branded web tablet which just uses the Nokia 770 skin or whatever. I hope thats what there planning. -- autopilot *SlimServer Version:* 6.5 - Windows XP. *Amp:* Cambridge Audio 640a (living

The data lost when compressing to MP3 is lost forever. The FLACS will sound the same. You will just end up with bigger files, absolutly no point. -- autopilot *SlimServer Version:* 6.5b1 - 9182 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252. *Amp:* Cambridge Audio 640a (living room) / Demon MD30 (bedroom
