None of this should be news to anyone.

The same thing people have been doing with computers and digital music files for the last 10 years or so. Where the Squeezebox fits in is being able to get the music from the computer to the stereo system over a network. Many people have no problem just connecting a computer's soundcard output directly to their stereo system. For them, I'd say there's little reason to own a Squeezebox. > Internet radio is the other thing, but that does not interest me too > much.

Did you thing that for $300 you were purchasing some kind of perpetual music machine? You need to return it while you're still within the 30 day window. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36487 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
