RE: SliMP3 Ethernet MP3 Player

["Kenneth Watt" <kennwatt@xxxxxxx>]

My problem with that is that I have a *lot* of music that would
crossover the different locations and shares.

One of my big gripes with the DDAR is that it cannot handle a playlist
any longer than about three hours or so and this is what I use when
folks are round for a meal or whatever. The idea being, fire on a huge
playlist and leave it alone. Now, as Phil can certainly testify, I do
like my grub and I tend to spend a lot of time both cooking and then
eating so I generally need about a five hour playlist or so to satisfy
what I (personally) want to do and the way I live. Neither the DDAR or
the AT seem to be able to do that, which is a pain as the DDAR is ideal
physically, in the dining room which is next to the kitchen, so I just
blare it when I'm cooking, saves installing a system in the kitchen
just
yet! :D

Again, it comes down to your personal needs and the capabilities of the
individual product and how it suits and, fits, with your lifestyle
rather than which has the most or better features.
