Thanks ! Wil have a listen :) . Long live squeezebox ( hell hydra ) Speaking of the whole Idea with " staff picks " it is quite typical of the squeezebox universe ideas are rarely realised to thier full potential. What " squeezenetwork " would have benefitted from in the past was something like curated content picking that's actively maintained and maybe even some weekly shows . Idea ? Let some music interested forum members pick thier stuff . "Jazz picks by xxxxx" " indie with yyyyyy" " nnnnn's classic picks " -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
