Logitech Squeezebox Duet? iPod!

I've been looking for a way to get my computer music stores to my stereo for a long, long time. Many a longing sight I cast'd towards Squeezebox Duet. And then finally the time was there - I got rid of the old Sony 50-CD changer (what a dead-end piece of mistake!) and it was time to commit to a decision.

And then it hit me: iPod and a dock!

I now see why Duet and its brethren have such hard time getting sold. I've got an iPod Classic on eBay and a dock at Costco. All told, it was about the price of high-end stereo (the dock is not high-end, although it comes with a subwoofer). And now all my music is available on the computer, in the bedroom, eventually in the family room when I'll get a small portable dock, and on the road!

I never though of it this way, but iPod is a real alternative to streaming stereo...
