Now, this looks like what I am looking for. I assume the downfall is that you have to manage the music at the computer and not at the SB2, but if it works as a work around perhaps that is enough. I did see where someone had trouble with getting the WMA's to play via Shoutcast. Is this an issue, or a configuation problem. Also, thanks to bishopdonmiguel. Very helpful and informative post. I appreciate that. I have spent the time to understand the various features and benefits of a SB, but I am attached to Yahoo Unlimited Music for the very reason that it gives me a chance to listen to so much more music than I ever considered before. Blue Monday calls for blues, Friday for Latin Jazz and so forth. I know there are other online ways to get to this stuff, but the various DRM services are still the best source for this stuff IMHO. -- alexwinsberg _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
