the convenience factor of 60 Gig MP3 players, not to mention that some

A software client is just an add on, technically and audiophilically.
Most top end car makers know that they need good looks as well as
technical excellence.
OTOH the a reputation for audio quality is an advantage SD holds over
the competition, and that could be quickly lost by catering to joe.
That's the advantage of the split between the Transporter and the
Squeezebox. You can do both.
My favorite thing about the Transporter is that it raises the
benchmark. I just don't want to see it *remain* the benchmark while R+D
is poured into a candy bar.
If a slick Windows client (one skilled programmer can do that) is what
it takes to get considerable extra sales, SD/Logitech would be would be
fools in a commercial sense to do that. You don't get to be as big as
Logitech by being a commercial fool...
With a slick interface and touchscreen (thanks ben!), I'm pretty sure I
could sell a squeezebox to a deaf person who never used a computer..
You must be a better salesman than me.

Peter
