So now the wait begins. I took the plunge and ordered a Squeezebox Classic today and according to the UPS site: it's intransit... so once I get it, I'll give an update on functionality and set-up.... My review on sound quality won't be anytime soon, since I haven't purchased a decent audio setup yet (I won't mention what I'm using now - it's kinda depressing).

This will be my 2nd time using a computer based music system. 2 years ago I had a mac-mini as my music server... but this time around I wanted to try a 'TV free' option... so I went for the Squeezebox...
