Don't even procrastinate: after getting the controller you'll wonder how
you managed to cope without it :)

 Hi,
 
 When I start the stream in a browser it takes a long time to
 start,
 30 seconds or more.  It seems like it is downloading more than it
 needs
 to.  It gets Quicktime and I have tried many things to reset this with
 no luck. 
 
 Also, there are several setting for random playlists, but they do
 not seem to do anything.
 
 Finally, as a stream, would others hear the same thing as me, like
 a
 radio?

Don not quite sure what you mean by listening in a browser but
basically once it is set going SC starts streaming immediately it is
then up to the app in the browser how long it chooses to buffer the
stream before it starts playing it.

The SB hardware is in active communication with the server all the time
so they can discuss how full buffers are and fill them accordingly so
can play a lot sooner.

Each stream is unique to the player and they get their own, even
browsers so whilst they may play exactly the same time and at exactly
the same time they are independent streams. For synchronised SBs they
are still multiple independent streams just kept in time by the server.
(Browser streams can't be synchronised if I remember correctly.)

Those servers must be incredibly busy to process all the streams to
everybody, and 99.999% of the time with no audible glitches.  It really
does work remarkably well.

 lived without it for so long!  Great product.  It solves a lot of our

My family's reaction was exactly the same !! And a year later they
still love it. :)

 I would be really stuck without my Classics and my Boom, the only CD

I was trying to remember the last time I played a CD...about the week
before I got my SB3 I think.  :)  I don't even use them in the car as I
use my Ipod Classic and XM tuner.  I rip them and put them in a box.
