You shouldn't want to. The only thing you should have in/around your
ears while mowing are earplugs and
Agreed. It's really eye-opening (and ear-splitting) to turn off the
mower and realize just how loud you've turned up the headphones. You
might possibly be okay with active noise cancelling headphones,
although I'm not sure how well they do in blocking the frequencies
emitted by a lawn mower. Or

I don't go to numerous concerts or normally blare my music, so what's
the culprit for my hearing loss?
Turning up the volume on high efficiency
1) Slimserver built in to the SB itself. Numerous SB's on same network
allow one to become the master. Simply point the squeeze box to a
file server share and possibly a share to store the database. Plugins,
etc., could still use this share as well.
2) A bare bones squeeze box. No remote, no

You may want to consider getting tested. Hearing loss is usually
gradual and progressive and your brain adjusts to it so you don't
notice it. Unless you get very-noticeable tinnitus as mentioned by

When they tested my hearing it was quite good other than a dip in the

After 2 months ownership, still could not figure out if Slim is porting
over Itunes data at all since no playlists appear on SB. Only songs with
truncated names and titles.

I agree with Steve, there are lots of requests for a Slim boombox too.
Perhaps it could be combined with a clock radio Squeezebox or perhaps
