Then our DVD player gave up the ghost last week and we got a Sony
Blu-Ray player replacement. Almost as an afterthought, one of the built
in features is wifi connectivity and I realized that I now have a
PC-based solution for my original CD issue because the Blu-Ray player
can access audio files on my PCs via a home network. Navigation is easy
since the player screen display mimics the folder organisation on the
PCs. Audio out from the player into my IPL transmission line speakers
via a Pioneer amp sounds great to my aging ears.

That's an interesting point. I've noticed that players are also starting to
have sockets for things like USB or memory cards as well. So far I've not
seen any widespread standardisation of such things. But this may turn out
to be a significant trend.

Slainte,

Jim
