Interesting. Most people I know have hundreds (if not thousands) of CDs and at least decent stereos. They listen to music all the time. I would love to see a Squeezebox in all of their homes but it has to be a bit easier to set up for the novice first. I think about how cool the awesome last.fm plugin is and how hard it was to get the thing going and wonder if I know many people who could do it without some help. -- jmpage2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21126 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
