If I understand our near future correctly, this will not be true anymore. There is fantastic work on the player side (soft and hard) being done right now, but perhaps sanctifying a server package wouldn't hurt. A *Plug or something like it + an adequate version of SBSÂ… Actually this server thing is a question I have. Not for me, I don't use mysb.com much and I do have a server. But I have other "customers". Priority #1, my parents are now up to 3 Booms and 1 Classic, and although there is an SBS installed somewhere they rely 99.999% on mysb.com. I'm ready to give them a small server appliance to keep radio running somehow (they're listening to a handful of fav radios) but I'd rather apply a repeatable solution, with updates consisting (by and large) in reloading a new version of a distro. I can already see 3 or 4 households queuing behind my parent's and asking for a solution the day mysb.com shuts down. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98256
