i have to say that my exps with upnp and DLNA are not overwhelmingly
positive, but it does mostly work to some degree, just not usually
elegant.

interestingly, thats exactly what i think of the squeezebox paradigm.

neither one is elegant.

by far, the single best thing about apple is airplay.  i'm not an apple
guy, i typically do not like their stuff or their hardware or the
choices they make.  but airplay IS elegant.  airplay IS robust.  airplay
IS flexible.  i mean, audio, video, computer, TV, tablets, handhelds,
mirroring, streaming, local, online, it does it ALL and it does it even
with everything in wifi.  and the adapters are CHEAP.  apple tv = $99. 
i mean, come on!

the problems with it don't bother most people, but do me.  itunes is,
for me, a non-starter.  i won't use it.  and there are some technical
questions regarding the quality of apple hardware adapters and how they
do their airplay magic that again, are for me, an obstacle, but for the
vast majority, are not.

also notice how airplay is going into other companies products.  

does anyone really believe that an audio product should exist today
whose main UI is webui?  i would bet most people still using server are
using some other UI.

i hope logitech sells slim to someone else.  i thought they'd be good
for slim.  i was WAY wrong.
