....and I still don't know if this Squeezebox is for me! I want a
jukebox set-up. If I connect my laptop to my hi-fi then this gives me a
Jukebox so why the Squeezebox?.

- because you don't want a computer sitting on your hi-fi
- because you'll want to share the same music experience in your bedroom, office, bathroom, kitchen... - because besides the noise your laptop makes the soundcard is of mediocre quality - because you don't want to get up from the couch to change a song, but prefer using a remote

...and I'm sure there are more reasons.

Once the Squeezebox "has indexed" all
the music on my laptop then there is no need for the laptop to be
turned on?

You'll still a computer running slimserver. The Squeezebox without a server doesn't play anything.

BUT this computer can be one of the Squeezenetwork servers: connect your SB to the Squeezenetwork, shut down your laptop, and you'll still be able to listen to internet radio, Pandora, Podcasts etc.

Someone SELL this to me please. metroman.

I'm no salesman. But a few years back the then state of the art SliMP3 changed the way I was listening to my music. I quickly gave up the computer on my hi-fi idea.
