| Squeezebox 3 vs Airtunes Sorry, if this has already been covered, but wondered whether anyone could help or point me in right direction. I was about to buy Airtunes to use with my Powerbook G4 but then stumbled across the Squeezebox 3 device. This seems to be getting rave reviews and I love the fact that it even has a audio digital optical out. The Airtunes doesnt have this right - just normal stereo outputs? Does anyone else have a Squeezbox 3 device? If so, what do they think of them? Do they work seamlessly with Macs over wireless? Any info wil lbe helpful Cheers

| With "Airtunes" you mean an AirPort Express, right? Yes, that has only normal stereo output, but it is supported by iTunes, which can be interesting. I guess it depends on what you want to with the device - and how you want to use it. I also think the AirPort Express is less expensive...

| Yes I meant Airport EXpress with Airtunes. Reading a bit more about Squeezebox, it sounds really good even if it cost nearly double, but thewre's one thing that putting me off. From what I read it seems that you cannot control music from iTunes, you can only select music by using remote control and Squeezbox :-( I dont like the idea of that one bit. Can anyone clarify if this is true?
