flawlessly with one exception I'll try and hunt down. But in regards to
supporting a new and open Squeezebox count me in! Curse Logitech for
butchering Slimdevices. //me remembers when an associate bought a Slimp3

Although, if I had to consider it probably would be the one connected
to the home theater. The garage and bedroom players both get ample
