Personally, that doesn't worry me - I'm just after a convenience JukeBox app that I can have playing in the background that frees me from having to change CD's every so often. (Of the seven deadly sins, I like sloth the best!) For critical 2-Channel listening I'll use my stand-alone CD player and for DVD/BD stuff, I'll reboot into the native PS3 OS and go from there. Others, however, may take a different view. <shrugs>
