Re: Kitchen radio options - Sonos?

Guys,

Thanks for the replies and thumbs-up for Sonos. Internet radio *will* be
easier than the aux-in fudge, however...
Reading the reviews of the Play:5, one person complained that the unit kept
streaming data even though it was "off" and thus landed them with
a big
bill for broadband usage. Can anyone verify if this is the case on their
units?
I can't see why it would, unless they hit "mute", rather than
"stop".

Cheers,
Tim.
