Hi Steve,

Thanks, when I looked at your signature I recalled my camping trip through the Flinders with my ute about 40 years ago with all the gorgeous sheilas.

I was aware of the iPhone, but have been somewhat overwhelmed with the possibilities with this new road. At the moment I still have lots of work ahead of me to get the metadata right, download the classical portion of my CD collection and then sort out the playlists. What at the moment is keeping me busy is that I need FLAC for my Sonos and WMA lossless for my MP3, as the only MP3 that I could find with enough capacity in lossless would not take FLAC.

Anyway I thought that it might be easier at this stage to use my computer to get everything set up, but my future tentative plan to eliminate my computer from my home system is firstly a NAS drive into my Sonos and then your suggested iPhone route. Is it truly that simple, cheap and good? But it may be a bit of time before I am ready to tackle that.

I am not complaining, these are not problems, they are fantastic opportunities, but it does have a learning curve and time requirement for me.

Sorry if I sound a bit scattered, that is my reality now and it is kind of fun.

Aloha,
