+1 I went through the same process with the Pi. And faced the same trepidations. I bumbled my way through so happily that I now have three Pi players in addition to my Boom. I could not be happier with them. There is some assembly required and some relatively basic downloading and configuring involved, but none require handyman or programming skills. I got a little frustrated in the process, but members of this forum helped walk me through the initial issues I was having. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TomAmes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=27792 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117101
