Hi Cheryl. Front Row ... Yes, I take your point - and yes, I've read
he specs for the new Mini. But I still think this is just the tip of
the iceburg. Regarding audio, in ITunes I cannot get passed the
license agreement. No matter how I try to click the Agree button,
using Space, VO+Space, route the mouse cursor to the button and then
use VO+Shift+Space, that dialog simply won't go away - only way out
is a force quit. I never use Real Audio, so don't have any use for
RP. VLC, I'm bnot familiar with that player. Time to go hunting I
guess. I need something into which I can load my existing
playlists. Something which will actually let me use the OS to browse
to the playlists, as they're not stored on the internal drive.
Thanks for your input.

Front row isn't only for Mac Intel as I understand it so I don't
think this is a matter of software being incompatible with the
powerpc. If you look at the info on the Intel Mac mini you will
find that it's audio is somewhat different from that of the non-
Intel Mac mini and I would imagine that's why front Row doesn't
work on the older Mac minis. If I understand correctly, front row
does work on non-Intel iMacs.
As for audio, I find that between windows media player and vlc and
realplayer and iTunes I can access everything I need to access.
Granted wmp isn't going to be upgraded any more and I'm not sure if
flip is going to cover for that or not but at least at present I
have no problem. People also use audacity and quicktime; maybe
there are others I am leaving out.
