but with this product you sometimes have to use the manual or support neither is as good as they should be ?
Some things can not be simpliefied because they are outside the product ? For example running sbs as a service on a windows computer with external drives. How many newbies would directly realise that you can get permission problem and that you must use UNC paths instead off drive letters such as "C:\something" ( these are windows quirks not fixable for logitech, drive letters are only for userspace in win). There is a lot of other issues outside of logitech controll such as your network . Pity that tiny sbs onboard the Touch does not work as advertised, that would get it closer to a no brainer setup. Except for your music files ;) with thier tags ? That mess is unfixable because there is no "real" standard for that. And ripping ? You can not get as simple as iPod with sbs, your expecting logitech to open a music store with correctly tagged files to compete with itms ? Squeezebox is always going to be a little more hustle because you are bringing your own computer, network and files to the mix, its not a self contained ecosystem like iThings. Speaking of that, I watched 3 friends getting iPhone4 this week, they struggled a bit none was iTunes user before, so saying that iThings are "easy" is not entirerly correct, it is "easy" because so many people have learned this before. I would say that syncronising your phone to a musicmanagement software is bizzare and unexpected in itself ? -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
