I'm sorry, by solutions I meant products/devices not necessarily from
SlimDevices.

There are no a
Thanks for the hint, I hadn't seen Olive. They come close, featurewise I
only miss support for Vorbis, Musepack and Replay Gain. I find them
overpriced, but it fits the audiophile market (the price premium for
the larger disks is ridiculous, Olive Musica 160GB is 1099U$, the 250GB
version is 1499U
I figure that most/many "non tech savvy people" are happy shuffling CDs
or using an iPod + docking station. What really pushed me to SB (and
looking at similar devices such as Roku, Sonos, Streamium, Airport
Express, etc.) is wanting to have my whole CD collection available in
multiple places. You
It's the added cost and complexity.
Do you agree that the level of self sufficiency and ease of use most
DAPs offer is interesting, especially for non tech savvy people?
I'm in no hurry so I'll keep watching the different solutions that
appear.

It's still not clear to me what you didn't like about the NAS solution
that was suggested in post #7 in this thread (almost a year ago). I'm
not sure, but I expect you can connect the NAS directly to the SB with
a crossover cable. And now there are several NASs with vendor support
for slimserver.

You can get an RF remote w/ 10 line, 128x128 lcd, so no line of sight
necessary. This enables you to: hide the unit; operate it from another
room (depending on RF power);

Hrrm? It doesn't look that different from a Squeezebox in how it
behaves (ie, no internal HD, all music fetched from the network). That
seems to be what the Original
You could buy a skipjam audio and report back on how it goes - seems to
have everything you're looking for, and I'm wait for some user feedback
on the device before I make a purchase decision :)

Actually it doesn't need a decent processor, there are devices doing
similar decoding tasks using a 180Mhz ARM CPU and less. SB2's RISC CPU
should be up to it.
Decoding isn't the problem. But the management of a few thousand songs

Yes, that would be the "think big" solution, maybe some EPIA based
system. Embedded hardware and dedicated OS/software still seem a more
appropriate approach though, especially if there already are systems
like SB2 with a mature LCD/remote controled interface.
