The problem with vortex box is that the user is too blind to what is going on. What happens when the CD you are ripping isn't in freedb.org? Or you don't like the genre that freedb.org has a CD categorized for? I think a web UI frontend is needed for vortex box for it to be really standalone and viable. As far as I can see, such a frontend isn't in the plans. As it stands now, vortex box works well as a server where a second PC is used to rip CDs onto the vortex network share. This is certainly a good step, but it doesn't make the vortex box a completely standalone solution IMHO. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 3 Booms, 1 duet, 1 receiver.
