For a new adopter - get the SB Touch and use that as the server, with USB memory off the site. That's all you need now. Or sure, if you want to marry into the Apple vision for life, invest in their stuff. I think the "ease of use" is a big mystique that is no longer justified, and you give up a lot of flexibility. But it really depends on what platform people are familiar with. And the SBTouch pretty much eliminates that altogether. Now someone is going to ask about "what about library management"? Most people don't need r think about that, either. They have their stuff on an iPhone or iPod, short-sighted as it may be. Furthermore, I think stuff like Pandora, with inreasingly personalized content, is all most people are going to care about soon enough. Why even own music? Let the cloud provide me with what I like when I am in the modd to listen. It is a small (and probably decreasing) minority of people that care about the particular artist and song and interpretation. -- pablolie ...pablo Server: 3.3 GHz Intel E8600 Core 2 Duo (8GB) - Vista Ultimate 64 and Ubuntu 9.04 64 Sources: SB3 (3), SB Boom (3), Duet, Accuphase DP65v CD Amplifier: Accuphase E306v Loudspeakers: Ceeroy 3-way tower (tuned) Headphones: Grado SR-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67637 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
