I find that post quite astonishing really. As I read it, you are saying that Slim Devices (Logitech) released a product (the Controller) they knew had limitations and probably wouldnt work properly; but us customers, who have paid good money for the product, should be grateful we have it at all. You may find this strange, but that is not my expectation when purchasing a product. (especially when I have a Squeezebox that works perfectly.) -- Mushroom_3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mushroom_3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13434 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48985
