At the very first level, a Squeezebox replacement player that it considerably less DIY than a solution like you mention. Only so many people are capable of (or willing to) roll up their sleeves and assemble a player like you've outlined. If it can be done and sold for a reasonable price, then the number of people who use the Squeezebox system and its software in the future would likely be many times what it will be if DIY is the only option. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
