the web base SS is slow and buggy, and Im not the first to say this. How many post in here are related to the performance of the SS web interface. Maybe I haven't found it, but I did not see where I can edit tags either. Once I got mine working correctly, Im scared to make any adjustment or use the web SS to make playlist. In other server software/ Music programs all you do is drag and drop to make playlist along with the ability to edit tags. Now I can understand the thought/feeling of Slim Devices purest regarding the daily changes/upgrades to the SS. But I would be hard press to recommed this item to a novice computer person. This product is first class once you get it to work properly, but the general public values ease of setup along with product performace. If I would have never use the SS with the softsqueeze and had the same smooth setup with the actual SB3, I would have nothing but pure praise for this product and would be spreading the word to my friends. All of us have friends or you are that friend that others look to for computer/audio advice and based on your/their opinon you make choices on products you buy. And nothing is worse than hearing back from someone that trusted your knowledge to only be frustated and down right mad due to unsatisfactory performace. Many people like to have top of the line gear or close to it, but never took the time to stay informed on whats what. And are at the mercy of T.V. ads and less than fully knowledgable sales people. If you take noticed after the holidays as you visit you local Malls, what is the longest line? the returns line. Why? some items just broke, but the number one reason is that the item did not preform as stated, and thats not always the comsumers fault. Many times the gear was not compatible with the gear they already have or the new gear is beyond the skills/knownledge of the buyer. I've read post on here where a person has brought a SB and does not have broadband, and asking a question on how to set his SB up with dialup. Now you must ask yourself how did this person learn of this product and not know you need broadband to connect to the internet/Squeeze network. I'm not here to put down this product,(mine works great) but I have to look at the average joe out there and see what they would go through with this product. -- Recoveryone Pioneer Elite Fall in!
