I also spoke with Andrew since I was having issues with my upgrade to Vortexbox 2.4. Andrew tells me the Sonictransporter AP has all of the features of Vortexbox and many more, except for MakeMKV. The VB forums were pretty quiet just before they went down anyway. I get the sense most folks may

It appears that the VortexBox brand is gone and Andrew has replaced it with the Sonic Transporter brand on his Small Green Computer site. I emailed him a few days ago about the forum and he indicated that he is working to get the VB forum back up. No mention of a time line.

[slim] Anyone still using Slacker Radio?
