I just got the awesome CD300 too. Easily sucked my whole CD collection in.
Now I need more CDs and the SLinke hooked up ;-)

Won't be for a while though as my wire closet assembly is a month out at
least but I am very much looking forward to it. Meanwhile I sit typing at my
PC with my Sony remote handy to kill random plays I do not like.
