I agree that the answer didn't quite match the questions exactly. Server/non disc playback doesn't necessarily mean downloads.

Bob's point was valid about CD and catalogue availability was quite correct. I don't think server music means you stop buying CD's however. I, for one, have never downloaded anything for my SB3.

That CD player sales is up for M is also perhaps a result of the iPod kids 'discovering' music and finding that �5.95 for a chart CD delivered is actually fantastic value. Far better than a legit download costs.

Now, I'll stick my neck right out here and suggest that Bob, being the very clever chap he is, knew exactly what he was answering yesterday.

Will there be something in the M line up that "is the best" there can be in a given category of server music? I certainly hope so.

How many people would like to have a M server client rather than a SB/SB+/transporter/Airpot E etc etc.? Plenty I'd say.

The door is open I think.
