In reply to:
You don't suppose I'd spontaneously combust or turn to stone or anything if I actually bought an Apple product, do you?
I've had the same concern for myself. When I saw Craig's solution was an Apple product, I instinctively flinched. You people are probably going to think I was dropped on my head repeatedly as a child, but my experience has been that Apple stuff in general and iTunes specifically are about the least user-friendly products available. There's absolutely nothing that's intuitive about the layout or operation of iTunes, and if this PRISMIQ doohickey is viable alternative then I might have to explore that option.

If you grew up in the PC/Microsoft world, the Apple stuff does take some time to learn...and vice versa.
For me...compared to WinAmp or MusicMatch, iTunes is much easier and more capable. My experience with MP3 managers is limited, but I can't see it getting much easier.

Tom, I feel I know you well enough to tell you that you are really a Mac person trapped in a Windows body. Spoken in beer terms, Apple is to PC as microbrew is to macrobrew.

Oooooooooooooo....Soundbridge....pretty lights....!!!
In all seriousness, the Roku Soundbridge looks pretty appealing. I use CDex to rip, but I like MusicMatch for cataloging and playback. Support for MM is a big plus for me.
Thanks for the tips!

Peter, while your Townsendesque personal observation may or may not be true, I am unconvinced that the qualitative analogy is apt. I've got an open mind, I just can't afford the support on two different platforms.

Understood. I forget that most people don't fix/support computers for a living and actually need to pay someone to do it occasionally.

Am I the only guy that's going to be using the tivo?
I gotta take a look at the back panel of my tivo tonight.
