Very good points, and a good approach on setting it up. I don't think it would be terribly hard to implement, but it's a marketing decision that they don't want to make. Looks like Sonos wins on that front, but on the other hand, you certainly pay a premium for the Sonos brand even though it doesn't have the sound quality of the Touch. -- Carrick1973 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Carrick1973's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=51146 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91467 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
