I think you meant to say that ethernet is TWICE as fast as USB. Which would be correct. It should be. That's the way the current implementation works. USB can be made to go faster, but this isn't something that's included with the current software set.

And USB on paper (original post) doesn't mean much. There are various classes of USB devices, each with their own speed. Then there are devices that use a certain class that should be relatively quick, but aren't: iomega USB Zip drive - USELESS.

empeg current USB 400-something KB/s. Ethernet 900-something KB/s. That info comes from Hugo and is plastered right in my jukebox matrix page where I've compared the empeg to both the Phatbox and Neo players. Tony might have a link to it somewhere on a FAQ page.
