QNAP TS-101 (version 2.0.0 build 0105T)
SlimServer Version: 6.5.1 - 11206 - Debian - EN - utf8
2 x wireless SB3
Working nicely for me on 6.5.1 Win/XP. My votes for future enhancement
would be for internet radio and support for random mix.
Thanks

Another vote for more efforts on SlimFx. orks great with Mac OSX 10.4 +
Safari.
This is leaps ahead in performance and simplicity for users, I agree
with the last post - internet radio and random would make it complete.
