[QUOTE="vonson, post: 794269, member: 87050"] Hello, I hope I do not annoy anyone with my questions. I am sure some of them might have been answered before, I just cannot find anything... I'd also like to point out that I am not particularly informed in recent hardware developements... I'm still in the concept stage of a dedicated htpc, so far i do run MP on my desktop PC. So far I am looking for a control solution. As long as movies are concerned I'm sure I may find a decent remote, but I'd like to do the music management without turning on the TV.
