That's really good news.

Now that it looks, Roku has chosen iTunes as the streaming server of choice
for Soundbridge, there is still the problem, that you must have a Mac/PC
running iTunes to access your music library. Do you all have your computer
running 24 hours a day? I don't! So I still have to wake my Mac manually and
launch iTunes, when I want to listen to music with Soundbridge.

There is a shareware app called launchTunes available at
http://www.shirt-pocket.com (I'm not affiliated with them in any way)

It remotely starts iTunes on all your computers whenever you launch iTunes
on your master Mac. Combined that with a WOL signal could enable Soundbridge
to start up the requested music server, in case it isn't running already.

Please Roku could you add something like this into the boot sequence of
Soundbridge? Probably just integrating the launchTunes client with added WOL
functionality into Soundbridge, so the shirt-pocket people could still make
their money with the server apps.

Would make the product much more useful for daily use.
