Just wanted to say thanks first of all to those who made helpful suggestions for my wee firewire problem.
On a completely different topic... Does anyone have a good suggestion for a music streaming product apart from Airport express/airtunes? Although I'm not averse to buying the airport express device as I do have an iphone with the remote app downloaded so I don't have to run up and down the stairs to constantly change what I'm listening to at the iMac, I'm still not convinced that there isn't a better product that will allow me to stream my itunes library from my imac upstairs to my stereo downstairs. I have looked into a couple of alternatives and from what I can tell the roku/ pinnacle soundbridge seems to get good reviews and also has the added bonus of being able to stream internet radio from my wireless router (unless I have got that completely wrong). On the downside, I have also read that the soundbridge will not stream DRM protected tracks. Although, I don't have many DRM protected tracks and I have started the process of upgrading what purchased tracks I have to the new DRM free versions, that seems like it could be a potential pain in the bum. So I guess, after all that rambling, what I'm asking is whether anyone knows of a reliable streaming device that will play all of my iTunes library tracks without glitches, without me having to constantly run between floors (although the exercise would do me good no doubt) to change tunes, etc. and that will also stream internet radio (the internet radio thing is a bonus really and is not crucial but it would be cool)? Any advice?
