Sonos vs Squeezebox

["Peter Church" <yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was about to splash out on a Squeezebox 3 to dip my toe into the
streamed MP3 arena, and then got thinking about Sonos.

Squeezebox does just about everything I need it to, and is quite
open for 'playing',  but Sonos might be a better long term solution
for expanding to multiple rooms, and the remote is a big plus.

I'm familiar with most of the basic features of both, so don't want
to initiate a war of words supporting either particularly, but have
one question for the Sonos supporters:

Is there any way to get the Sonos to stream music from the Real
Audio radio streams (particularly RTE)? Squeezebox can do this with
the AlienBBC plug-in, so can Sonos be hacked to either piggyback off
the Slimserver or do this some other way?

This is a critical function to get SWMBO approval...;-)

TIA

Pete
