The way I got the better half to start using SB3 was I bought a Harmony 1000 and now it is a one button operation for her to listen to music (even if the TV is already on). All she now has to do is tap "Digital Music" and the Receiver comes on switched to the SB3 input and the SB3 comes on (and anything else not needed that is on goes off). She picks her playlist or goes random and is on her way. She has even started using the Controller to make changes. I came home the other day and she had the dinner party background music playlist already running for the quests we were having over. Make it easy to use, show then how easy it can be, and people start using it. With as many devices as you have, I would have a full time music server running SC and never turn it off. Then it is always ready to use for her. Lastly, I personally don't believe you can complain about anything. After all, she let you buy a Transporter that she does not understand or care to use. It would be hard for me to find any fault with anybody that would allow that. My better half took almost 10 years before there was any difference in a Sony Boombox and my main system. She thought it was wasted money IE music is music. I told her sound is one thing, reproduced music was a whole other game. She now can't stand listening to her friends rack system when we visit.
