I really liked what they were playing at 3 in the morning, but when I tuned in during the day later in the week I was less impressed. Anyway, it might come in in Elyria. 88.1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102103.post-74805801921022512632007-06-20T17:22:00.000-04:002007-06-20T17:22:00.000-04:00And I should add that of course I can probably lis...And I should add that of course I can probably listen to the met opera broadcast on Cx6 streamed from uruguay if I so desire.

CX6 in Uruguay carries it, but you can't hear the opera live in northeast ohio.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, to get to the point, it's a pretty nifty little thin client that streams audio from your computer to your stereo over a wired or wireless network. You can stream your own files or internet streams.<BR/><BR/>Plus the software is open source and there are lots of useful plugins. There are probably cheaper products out there, but at 300$ it's been worth every dollar for me.<BR/><BR/>Just wish I could use Amarok as a frontend for it. . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
