Re: Whole House Audio Touchscreen Setup on a Budget

["noel_pilot" <HA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Fully agree, if there's others involved then Sonos is easier however
it's also a bucket load of money!
For many rooms it is a LOT of money, personally I think it's worth it
but for many it is out of budget.
SWMBO approval factor of my approach i think is pretty good, its very
easy to operate on the ipod touch, not quite as quick as a sonos but
pretty good
any specific questions let me know!
cheers
