Since I run a Linux box at home to serve my myriad Squeezeboxen, I
agree.

Again, I agree.  Please note that I said "yet" in posting the good
things it doesn't do... at some point in the--hopefully--no too distant
future you'll see updated features like the above.

There is a lot of work to be done on improving the environment around
the Simple Audio Roomplayer, but I can say this: they *sound* amazing.
The whole thing is really well designed, in terms of the audio path, and
the amplifier in the Roomplayer I is really, really good.  The first
time I heard them it was on a 20+year old set of Vandersteens and it
sounded amazing.  Simple also produces the Roomplayer II, which has no
amp so you can use it as just a transport.
