I've been noticing this myself. I think this is an area of competition for Logitech that will keep them trying to differentiate themselves. Gapless playback always seems to be at the bottom of the priority list with media streamers and mp3 players. Logitech differentiate themselves here, but the fact is that most people don't care and don't even know what it is. Somebody else had an interesting view on this - that devices like this will bring audio streaming out of its niche status and bring it to the masses, thus keeping the market viable for Internet Radio stations and companies like Logitech. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 duet, 1 receiver.
