Just recieved my first Squeezebox and I love it! I have it running on some 9 year old computer speakers. I am thinking of an a-bus system or maybe channel plus mds-6a with ceiling speakers. I too want to watch the budget. I am interested in what others on the site are using. -- freddypd

First of all, I want to say bravo to those who implemented the various artists mode. It really works in a very useful way, and it even motivated me to re-tag (using a script) a bunch of things with proper artists. I did observe one inconsistancy: I have some artists who only appear on
