Rene, I think you've found the right product...at least IMHO. Where to start...hmm. First, if you just want to play music on your computer you can download Slimserver/SqueezeCenter from slimdevices.com, load the software, scan the music on your computer, load SoftSqueeze from the Help tab, and play away with you music. SLimServer/SqueezeCenter can "slice and dice" your music many more ways than just alphabetically (like by genre, artist, etc.) However, should you want to hook your music up to that excellent stereo of yours then you should buy the product. Then you hook the device to your network and stereo and pesto the music is coming out of that stereo. BTW, the Transportor might be for you because it has absolutely the best sound of all of Slim Devices as I understand (Me, I just have a Squeezebox 2 and LOVE it). Though the new duet looks awfully tempting. I hope that makes some sense!
