Gave me a chuckle first thing this morning.
My wife wants nothing to do with the SB. My son on the other hand
surprises me. Ultra smart, has had every iPod they've come out with,
plays games online, text messages faster than anyone I've ever seen,

It was an easy sell for me.
"We can put all the CDs away in a box. We can listen to all the CDs
upstairs in the bedroom as well as the lounge. I'll sell the CD
player."
Ok, so I had to buy a new larger HDD for the FLAC files and 2 SBs and a
Logitech Harmony to make it work, and I have to leave t
My wife thinks that the concept is great, and once or twice she has
actually even used it. BUT, she thinks that the menu system is totally
NOT intuitive, stupid, and way too hard to find anything. If only it

Still, I have a controller on order (only because of the discount!)
You just now realized that they are different animals? Just count your
blessing that you have a SB product. Keep it down too, she must not

A dedicated server may be ideal for some, but I personally don'

For the OP:
You are an enthusiast, she's not. If she doesn't tell you to turn it
off when you listen, and if she doesn't complain about what you buy
when you buy it, I don't see how there's any problem here. You're happy
and she's happy, no reason to expect your SO to have the same hobbies or

I have some advice: go into Squeezecenter player settings and simplify
the menus. Get rid of stuff you don't use. Make it as simple as
possible and I'll bet she'll use it. If she only uses Rhapsody, put
Rhapsody on the top menu (I think you can do that). Heck, you could
even set a seldom used

Here's how to translate SlimDevices geek joy into layman's terms:
It's a networked music player! Translation: If the network's not up,
the device is completely useless.
You can control it from your web browser! Translation: Ignore this, you
can still use a remote.

I've got two SB3s and the Duet, and loaded the server with all my wife's

either.
