Anyway, back on topic for the off topic...

I think I could have summarized everything I've written about the various music streamers by simply stating that the reason the Squeezebox product line is better than everything else is because of Squeezebox Server (formerly Squeeze Center, formerly Slim Server). None of the other companies have anything even remotely as good or capable. The actual Squeezebox hardware is quite good, but it's the server software that creates the greatness.
