Quite well said. Following this list has shown me that Slim is one of the most
customer focused and responsive technology companies I have ever seen.
As for Plays for Sure, it seems that it will play for sure in any device that

Andrew,
A couple of questions come to mind:
1. Are the SB and the CD player hooked to the same receiver?
2. If so, what type of conneciton are you using (analog or digital/Optical
or Coax) for the CD Player?
3. What type of connection (analog or digital/Optical Co-ax)) are you using

Different vs Better is a tough one. Just because your daughter can tell the
difference between the two doesn't tell you which is producing the best
sound fidelity to the original lossless source.
I'm not being critical here. I'm just pointing out that sound preference is

Here is a link to a site that I found interesting. Although he favors WMA
lossless for his collection--which many people here would disagree with--he
does offer a good discussion on using EAC and why a lossless format is his
preference.. Disclaimer: I am NOT taking a side on FLAC vs WMA.
Jeff,
Those shots look pretty nice. Could you
expand a bit on this mod and it's features?

Since you were streaming radio at the same time, it was probably an issue
with the bandwidth of your internet connection or jitter rather than an
issue with Server or the SB.

This is an excellent point if this case of SB1 vs SB2. Different does not

I'm about to buy my wireless set up for SB2 now. Probably FLAC, definitely

Given all of the discussion of skipping, wireless network performance, etc.
some of you, especially those actually developing the server SW, may find
this article that discusses delivering multimedia via wireless interesting.

Thomas,
I may be wrong on this, but if anything I would think that you would have
higher latency/jitter on the wireless side, not on the wired side. Since
the wired is running behind the wireless, I wonder if your sound card/driver
is somehow injecting latency? What type of card are you using?
Don't worry guys. I'm not talking wilderness camping here. I like peace
and quiet as much as the next guy.

Graham,
I don't agree with your premise here. Why on earth would Slim Devices want
to facilitate multiple brands of devices connecting to their free, open

No intent to be provacative here. Just curious as to your thoughts on this.
