I did not express myself very well. You don't like Apple - fair enough, there is lots I don't like. But where do we go from here? I was hoping we would get some input on media servers that are easy to set up and work well with SqueezeCenter. I agree - it is what about end users will like and use (or not use). And yes, I prematurely abandoned the scenario although I genuinely would like to know what to recommend to friends and family. Perhaps I should be more patient and give this another day but I thought we would be getting more on media servers like the Vortexbox or Windows Media Server for example by now. I genuinely have other things I need to do in the meantime. Thank you for your input. -- dBerriff iMac/iTunes, Apple TV, AVI ADM9.1 active speakers, Boom ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dBerriff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12247 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67637 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
