Anyhow, what methods do you guys/gals use to talk some sense into such
people?
I suppose it's the reason why I was interested in the Squeezebox in the
first place: computer audio sucks!
I thought that was the future and invested in a fairly good quality
soundcard (M-Audio Revolution) and some good quality speakers but the
sound was just never close to the sound from my

Instead, I have fixed players hardwired into decent sounding systems,

For me, music is often spontaneous - it like i have 30 mins to myself,
