I was hoping that Logitech would have reduced Squeezebox prices, but if anything they're more expensive now than they were 3 years ago.

Yeah, Logitech is weird with their pricing - I guess maybe the streaming music player market isn't very big (yet?) and they want to keep making huge mark-ups while they can.

I'm pretty grumpy with my Squeezebox this morning - I updated the firmware on the remote and now it refuses to connect to my music source! GRRRRR...:mad::mad::mad:
