I wouldn't go as far as a cd drive in, but might be interested in a hard drie, but this is exactly the problem everyone I show the the SB3 to.
They all love the display, the remote, the interface and, above all, the quality. Then they ask where the music comes from and I tell them I have a server running upstairs. And that's all she wrote. NO SALE. Basically, they'd all love a SB3 or Duet or Boom but none of them want to run a server. The majority have external drives with all their music on, and they plug it into a desktop/lappie when they want to play or rip music. They are dying for a device like the Duet, if the duet receiver had a USB port and was running SC. As for people saying that what you are asking for is a computer so use a computer, I think they are missing the point that the duet receiver is also a computer. So why not use it? As for the Yamaha and Olive offerings, have you seen the price of them? The market wants Duet prices not megabucks. -- fattybacon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ fattybacon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12006 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52559 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
