Sean... can u please speak to this issue a little bit more? aren't mp3 players (like ipod) basically self contained? i don't see why putting SS inside the device, (making it fat rather than thin) is such a no go. wouldn't that make it the ultimate cross platform device? couldn't it be upgraded or given plugins via flashes or some other methodology? if u had a rack style device, could it not run on linux, host SS, and map drives to wherever ones music is? (or do http) perhaps it could even host some music locally via flash storage. i'd be willing to pay transporter type prices for such a device. all, please don't flame me, i'm just asking. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 w/SS 6.5.2 (beta!?) - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33695 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
