I finally read this thread. I've been avoiding it as the premace of the title seemed obviously wrong. An 'average Joe' listens to mp3 files. Its only people who really care about the QUALITY of reproduction that are the potential Slim Devices customers. Having said that, I agree that there would be great advantage to having knowledgeable SB people available for personal consultation. Let me use myself as an example. I visit, on a daily basis,about 5 different audio, diy, audio manufacturers web sites/forums. I first learned about SD on the Audiocircles forum when Vinnie Rossi of Red Wine Audio started modding them. I subsequently bought a SB3 from him. In preparation for this I bought a Windows laptop to use as a server as the iBook I had had too many deal breaking pitfalls (flac support, tagging support, etc.) to be used convieniently. Having read about the grief many were having with wireless networking, I chose to use a crossover cable. I managed to get everything working (EAC,Accuraterip) to a degree. My albums appear as playlists, I have no albums or generes, and what few artists show, were the ones already loaded on the laptops Windows media player, and random ones from cds I've ripped. Some albums have no tags at all, and I have to find the individual files for playback. I know that I have a tagging 'problem' but I am loathe to try and fix it as, and this is the key, THE SOUND QUALITY IS SO GOOD, I don't want to muck up what useability I DO have. About 3 months ago, all of a sudden, SS would not connect. Turned off the firewall and bingo. About a month ago SS 6.2.2, my original, wouldn't boot up. I uninstalled it and loaded 6.5.4. Everything working again, with the firewall turned on. Do I have to tell you how much I dreaded making ANY changes? I would be willing to pay someone a reasonable fee to help me sort out my problems.
