You said you found the Slimserver aweful. What Operating system are you running the Slimserver from? I noticed that the Windows port of the slimserver software was horrible. I switched to Linux and hadn't had a crash for about 57 days (it crashed when the power to my home went out). Also the new 6.2 release fixes many stability problems. I can't speak for the Windows version anymore because I setup a Linux server which is now for "mission critical" Squeezebox deployment :)

I agree with you fully that PC sources are better than cd sources when setup properly. I am glad you have a keeper.

  yes , i have a bad trip with slim server with windows, perhaps it was my fault..
  now i use a mac osx with itunes and even my wife can use it .... ( french joke?)
  anyway if you like your squeezebox try to get a regulated power supply for it or best use it on battery.
  cheers..

    No not a French joke :) It's a global joke. WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) is the best. The more WAF points you get the better :)

    So your on a MAC system then. That's great! MacOSX is an excellent architecture :)

    Happy listening
