Hi Snarly. Thanks for your reply.

Well, isn't 'too small' (Slim) relative? For example, how much flash
storage does it take to make the screensaver change settings every 5
minutes? To maintain a reasonable list of URLs?

Is it that there isn't the necessary (SB3) storage, or that it's not
accessible by Plugin architecture? Are there any custom firmwares
about?

Unfortunately, I'm finding the SB to be a "PC-centric" system, given
the Settings dependence on Squeezebox Server software Plugins, given the
primitive level of the alternative at mysqueezebox.com.

I appreciate your point in terms of a Desktop vs Laptop Server option.
However I'd favor the central concept of a customizable independent
'radio-like' device that interacts directly on the web (neither Desktop
nor Laptop dependent). Why can't a S'box connect to a website other than
mysqueezebox.com, or how would you enable that? (I imagine more than one
alternative site, with different focus or resources --I'd think that
might 'inspire' Logitech to get something more than bare bones up since
September (e.g. no RSS config, no mobile interface Remote page, etc.). I
can already manage and play MP3 and playlists more readily on a
remote-controlled CPUs on which they reside if I'll need to configure
and run any local SB Server. Having the current SN/MSB + Internet Radio
may be enough, but it's nowhere near what it could be (e.g.
"my"squeezebox.com).

(PS. The audio output (analog) of the Airport Express measures very by
real criteria actually, including that by the snobs at Stereophile
magazine. AE also outputs digital if you want to go beyond that for some
reason.)
