tcutting: thanks. i didn't realize that. so (a) you are saying I can buy the classic squeeze box (that displays) and it will work with the new duet controller? (b) the universal remote will also work like the controller? (c) I am no longer "sold" on ITUNES -- in fact I am happy to be rid of them. but what is Apple Lossless or FLAC? What will FLAC do for me? These things sound interesting and will stir the pot even more. again, thank you for these recommendations. have you ever heard of a wannabee audiophile touting the z5500? what's the world coming to? its the age of the computer!! peace. mitch. -- Mitchell J.
