Yeah, very cool devices. However it's a little different than what I
was looking for, as far as I know. IF you're in the U.S. check out

http://www.pandora.com

Give it a song name or band name and it starts finding other things
like it and creates a personal streaming radio station. I use it in my
office as I have good studio monitors in here but when I'm out in the
living room I want to send it through the big system sort of on the
fly without changing the machine's default configuration.

Anyway, thanks for pointing out Squeezebox again. It's cool stuff.
