As I mentioned in an earlier post, I purchased a Slim Devices Squeezebox (version 3) a couple of weeks ago as a way to get music from my file server out to my living room. Before purchasing the Squeezebox, I connected an iPod dock to my receiver and used one of my iPods to play music. The three biggest problems with that setup is that I had to walk over to the iPod to skip or repeat songs or change playlists (the cost of a newer dock and a remote was not worth the cost), it was impossible to see what song was playing from any other spot than standing in front of it, and the iPod does not natively play Ogg Vorbis or FLAC audio tracks.
