Just ordered a couple of ZP90s, a Zonebridge and controller. Will report back when setup.

Pushed this way because of one problem after another w/my SBs that had once been rock solid. Just want reliable, hassle free playback; don't need a lot of options/plug-ins etc. Hope it's as reliable as my toaster.

That's a shame. I was going to offer to phone you and help you to troubleshoot your issues. (I can phone the US for 10p for a whole hour). There are a set of troubleshooting steps that will fix over 99% of problems - uninstall, reboot, delete the cache, plugins and prefs folders and re-install with the latest nightly.

I just like the flexibility of the slim stuff, and the fact you can use anything to control it. I've just put in a system for a friend and his kids have Softsqueeze on their laptops and control it with their Nokia N95s when they are too lazy to get up and reach for the keyboard.
