Re: CD autochangers...

["Rob West" <robwest@xxxxxxx>]

I've got the 200 CD model and agree with everything Colin says - i.e.
biggest problem is the noise it makes when changing CD (mine's in the loft
and I can still hear it from the bedroom).

I also have a Slinke (http://www.nirvis.com) that allows me to
control it
from a PC - a bit pricey and hassle to get it from the States but very cool
as it does all my IR routing too.

Rob.
