Thanks for that Peter

Could you tell me what the difference is between Squeezebox 1, 
Squeezebox 2 and Squeezebox 3? Can they all do the same thing with them 
being open source software?

Can they all connect to pandora etc or is that a new addition of 
Squeezebox 3?

I'm I correct in thinking that "Slimp3" is effecftively "Squeezebox 1", 
then the other versions are simply Squeezebox 2 and Squeezebox 3. Or is 
there more to it and more versions than that?

Also, I just saw Roku SoundBridge on the net. Is that the same kind of 
thing?

Cheers all
