I completely understand. The last thing you want to do is sit by the
computer. I don't know if you realize, but you don't have to sit by the
computer to realize the benefits of a computer based music server. What
I am trying to convey is, the music server enables you instant access to
all your music, you can make playlists for all your favorite selections,
and finally, you don't have to sit by the computer to enjoy all its
benefits.
With this simple and inexpensive upgrade, you can have all the
convenience of a computer based music server and very good sound
quality, to boot.
Your existing situation is such that you get up when you want to change
a CD, no? Well, with your music server, you go to the other room, select
your playlist, click play, then go back and sit down. I assume you'll
keep your music server in another room computers can be quite noisy,
what with fans on the power supply and the video card etc.
For even more convenience, programmable remotes are being created to
adapt to existing music server, such tuneview for itunes.
Anyway, I won't harp on this anymore after this post. I was trying to
share a new way of the love of music with someone else. They way you can
combine all your favorite sings through a playlist is something that
really makes a music server ****ne.

iTunes is capable of so much more, and I know now I sound like some sort
of pracher for Apple or EMU. I am niether, just someone who appreciates
a well made product, be it software or a reasonably priced DAC:)

Fair enough, no more from me. Forgive me for the harrassment, I just had
to share.
