The Net Audio function is pretty amazing and complicated, I'm starting to check it out now.

Basically, it can connect to an Internet radio station, or a Windows PC running special software (Microsoft protocols) or a USB drive that plugs into the front panel. I'm using the last option, although I have an old Windows laptop that I plan to try out with this. Eventually I'm going to merge this system with my TV system, and it'll have a Mac mini. Not sure exactly how I'm going to get music off its hard disk to show up here, but maybe I don't have to. Synching up the hard disk on the receiver with other disks on my LAN is going to be a challenge. And now of course I'm wondering how the software on the receiver is going to get upgraded, the dilemma Scoble likes to point out. With the Ethernet cable and a USB port it seems kind of dumb if there's no good way to update the software on this puppy, but I have a feeling they don't have a way to do it. There's no mention of it in the docs.

BTW, here's a PDF of the manual, if anyone is interested.

Sweet. But I'll warn you again. If you crank up those speakers too loud, you may start tremor activity on the Hayward Fault. ; ) Rock on.

Dave,
Why try to pump the Mini through their weird ethernet interface? I just have my mini going into my AV receiver as another component, and then I can either drive things through iTunes, Front Row, QT Player, VLC, or anything else you can run on the Mac.
Just wondering?

Sundog, that's exactly what I plan to do.
