My newly acquired SliMP3 arrived today - what a thing of beauty!

I've wanted one of these for a while, so jumped in when this one came up
on eBay.  

It wasn't an instant 'plug and play' addition.  It goes to show how
things have moved on in what seems like such a short time.
- No wireless, so I had to find an ethernet cable and a spare socket in
a nearby switch
- This thing only plays MP3s, so I had to install Lame on my pCP server
(one click!)
- The only outputs are single ended RCA/cinch.  My amp has been in use
for almost a year, and in that time I've never used the analogue inputs
- not even tested them till tonight.  And they're balanced, so I needed
to dig out my adapter cables.

Apart from that - plain sailing!

Objectively it's not a patch on a pCP RPi with a Joggler screen running
Jivelite, but I love it.  It's where it all started!
