Agree with all of this. My NAS and Squeezebox probably sat idle for a good two weeks before I figured out what to do with it (I still have no idea of what to use the NAS for apart from streaming music). I love the sound the SB3 produces but it's certainly not been trouble free and I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone that I know Most people in the world have even less interest in how computers work than me and I've struggled to make it work. I've persevered because the combination of great sound and convenience is very alluring. But most people are more interested in the convenience side rather than the audiophile side. Make it as simple as Apple make all their hardware or it will always be a niche product. -- Braidy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Braidy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9818 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31559 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
