    Went mooching in PC world yesterday, and came across this[^] Looks like a kinda groovy bit of kit, but can't find much info on it - anyone seen, used or more importantly heard one of these in action?

          I have one of these[^] that I bought last year. It sits in the garage and my wife uses it when she's running on the treadmill. It works really well and she loves it.

            Hi Richard, I'd be interested in your opinion of the Streamium, I've been considering buying one myself. Cheers, Rob

              Well...therein lies a story..... At the moment, all seems to be good with my box....had some real difficulties setting it up, but the forums really helped. Features wise, it is lacking somewhat....have bought the SL50i audio box, and to be fair, it is billed as a low-end model. Problems so far: 1. Display on the box sucks the big one....2 lines by about 20 chars, and no backlight.... 2. Can't cotrol the box from the PC - have to use the remote....not a major prob, just a bit of a pain 3. Shuffle doesn't work. Ever. To be fair, the forums offer solutions / workarounds for most of the issues that I've run into, and I T_H_I_N_K I've got the suffling sorted.... Overall, for the 50 quid I paid for it, it's not a bad little bit of kit, if you accept it's limitations. Apparently, the higher models are more usable, with better features... Hope that helped...

                Right - that's IT...am REALLY starting to lose my rag with this thing...new problems: 1)Absolutely refuses POINT BLANK to hold a connection 2)When it does connect, throws me out of MSN Messenger (but Windows messenger works fine) 3)OK OK....shuffle DOESN'T work 4)When it finally does manage to connect, "cannot find a UPNP server, please make sure Philips Media Manger is running" which of course it is... All in all, am getting so DAMN frustrated with it, that it has until the weekend to sort its life out, or it's going back to the shop.
