Sony has been playing catch-up with portable media players (mp3 players) for years. I used them for a while because they were the only ones that could play gapless, though with ATRAC :-(. Remember minidisc? That was a great success ;-). Once Apple supported gapless playback, I dropped Sony like a hot potato! I'm not surprised to see that they are doing the same with media streaming in the home now. It's sad to see - they invented the Walkman and helped develop the CD for crying out loud! What happened to them!?!?! Even when BB had the SB products on the shelves, you could never find them. They had them by the computer speakers. Huh? Same thing with CC (RIP). And the sales people couldn't tell you anything about them. When the Boom was released, it was impressive in that they had a table set up with a Duet and a Boom. But again, the sales people had no clue what the products were about. Online shopping is your friend these days. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 3 Booms, 1 duet, 1 receiver.
