On the squeezebox, Rhapsody is available via squeezenetwork, so you don't have to have the PC's on. Though, in that case, you may have to leave it connected to SN when you turn it off for usability. My wife enjoys the SB and uses it all of the time - mainly to play music for the kids. She even knows how to shuffle! She likes it because is alleviates the clutter of CDs sitting around. I love it because I don't have to go to the basement to pick a musical selection from my CD collection. Other posters have good suggestions - modify the menu to simplify it and put Rhapsody on top. If fear of messing up the PCs or network by pressing the incorrect buttons is an issue, reassure her as best you can that she can't do any irrevocable damage to the unit or network. Good luck! -- maggior ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49688 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
