I use Slimserver with my CD collection on a 300 Go
firewire drive and a allway running Mac Mini.
I also use Telcanto for Slimserver to control slimserver
on an iPaq via wifi.

I can’t tell you since I’ve only owned the Series 1 Tivo. The main difference is that the TV would still have to be on with Tivo and my point was to get music going without the TV.

I use Salling Clicker on a Palm Tungsten T3 and like it as well. Slim is a much more seamless experience though… It also works as a nice simple component and allows anyone (my wife) to manage what’s playing with ease. The remote control UI is very nice - like the iPod, but without the scroll wheel.

I’ve found that using my bluetooth SonyEricsson t610 and salling clicker to controll my iTunes collection works really well. iTunes sits on my server (which sits next to the Stereo) and a bluetooth dongle plugs into the back off it, I can do searches, skip forwards and backwards through tracks and track names appear on the phone while playing. Only problem is the interface is slow on my early model t610, its a lot quicker on my mates k700.
