Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I was using the '300' controller when I was having performance problems with my music collection. My new house has a '250' and if nothing else, the performance of browsing my music collection is insanely faster. I assume that as well as importing quickly, the experience of browsing via genre/name/whatever is fairly quick. Do you know, is installing this something that can be done remotely? I was happy with the group that recently completed my home install, but for something like this, I would prefer to work with someone who has some experience. Can I do all the manual labor of plugging in my cables/etc. and then let someone have remote access to my system to install the driver and do any other programming? Anyone you would recommend? Thanks in advance for your help.
