Not quite.  I actually said  - "I have had a slim and Rios it's pretty
painful to try and access tracks in a large collection."  No mention
of
without a TV.  A PC is a better experience than at TV for example.

We're all different.  But if you're really telling me that browsing 10,000s
of MP3s on a Rio is a pleasurable experience, I'm stunned.

Of course, no-brainer.  And that's the reason I sold the Slim.  It was in
the Kitchen and I wanted to use a PC to control it through the web
interface.  We eventually got a PC and TFT in the kitchen.  But of course
then you just use WinAmp the need for the Slim disappears.
