But how many of those people are serious music listeners?  In my opinion,
the Squeezebox is not a product for people that are content listening to FM
radio in their cars or are content with the storage capacity of their Nano.

Most people in my experience that are serious enough music fans to
accumulate large collections are technologically savvy enough to deal with a
Squeezebox.  They may be audiophiles, dealing with highly complex systems
and concepts, or they've already been involved for some time in downloading
music to accumulate the collections they've built.

Just look at the size of the music collections that people on these forums
have.  I haven't seen many (any?) posts from people that have 200 songs in
their iTunes library and are interested in Slim products.  The slimserver
market, again in my opinion, is comprised of passionate music fans that
aren't going to be daunted by the minor complexities of setting up a server.
