Either that, or I'm misunderstanding your post.
Unlike the Sonos, the line-in on the radio does *not* stream that source to other players. It simply plays it through the SB Radio's speaker. So why does the marketing copy say you can -"listen to your iPod tunes in any room"-? I suppose they mean you can pick up the SB Radio and iPod and carry it to any room. I think it is *way* too easy for someone to misunderstand what the capabilities really are. -- aubuti Nothing high-end, but music anywhere I want it, and it's '100% wind powered' (http://www.cleancurrents.com/).
