I can't say anything about the MP3locker service as I've never used it. For now, if I want to listen to my music without my computer on, I just tune in to "My Radio Station" via last.fm. It only lets you listen radio-style (random mix), but that is good enough for me for the rare times my server i

MeSue, thanks so much for your quick and informative response. The only decision I have to make now is whether to buy a boombox now or wait a bit and order the radio. -- botski botski's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.
