Hello folks, if I can throw my two pennyworth in here? I have a Bose Wave
system which has DAB radio FM and MW plus a CD player. I went into a shop
thinking of improving this by adding more Bose products and was told that the
Sonos 5 music system was far superior. One drawback with this the controller
has a touch screen like the Apple products. The sound was terrific and the
music came from the computer like you are saying Clive. I feel sure it can be
controlled by the Ipod touch but I am not sure. I think there is an app for
the
Sonos as well and the company say it can be controlled from the PC using their
software. Has anyone tried or listened to the Sonos 5?
Cheers
Ron

Increasingly, I am using my computer to play my music collection, having
ripped the lot onto an external hard drive. Tried IPod, but hated
ITunes, particularly since it did strange and terrible things with my
collection. I'd already loaded most of it onto the PC before throwing
ITunes at it, and I think this may have had something to do with the
nightmares I experienced. It may be easier if you're starting from
scratch with your uploading, putting ITunes up before you store on your
PC.
Without ITunes, I do find music a real cinch to play on the computer,
and I've got a massive collection on there.
Best,
Clive

Hi Dave thanks for your reply.
If the system I wanted was for portable use then your suggestion would
be perfect, but all I'm after is something similar to what I have but
with the two tape decks removed and replaced with a multi CD player.
This would be for home use, but I really want it accessible as I'd like
both my wife and I to use it and my wife is totally blind and I have
limited sight, and your idea of an IPod would mean we had to have one
each wouldn't' it?
