A good point . very similar to my own experience . However the online experience can be for everyone and that sells squeezeboxes and it not to hard. Here we have *sometimes unreliable mysqueezebox.com servers (have improved greatly ,but I migth eat my words xmas is soon here then everyone wants to listen online ). If logitech is on top of these issues it would be great. * Your wifi, if it sucks it sucks what can logitech ever do about that ? seriously ? To run your local file collection it takes some actual music interest (not casual background listening ) and posibly also some rudimentary sense of soundquality to muster the energy to make it go :) The ripping managing and -proper tagging and artwork- is the real work . A couple of hours now and then to whack the admittedly to buggy server in to shape pales compared to the time spent with your files . I understand why folks go for online services only if lacking the kind of music hobby interest some of us got bitten with . Most people I know would just run a wire from the PC and listen to spotify -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
