I guess if I had read the subject line again, most Q's would have been answered. I've got a squeezebox too (actually 3). Ripping CDs and DVDs with Myth is painfully slow. If you only watch TV or other mpeg-2 content on the 350 TV-out, you're fine. Anything else, it does not seem like it is worth the hassle. I've seen the tv out of the 350 compared to my s-video on an fx-5200, and I'm not all that impressed. Also, there is no hope if you want to play games using any of the emulators (or any game for that matter). Make sure that if you want to use the Slim Devices web interface, just put it into the Websites and then go through Mythweb to assign a shortcut to it. The MythMusic feature is ok, but the lack of some of the features of slim have kept me from using more than I absolutely have to. Paul
