I'm using the Qcast Media Player (actually now marketed and sold as the GameShark Media Player). I can tell you that it's a great little app. It plays back just about everything wonderfully. It has a little trouble with XVID encoded AVI files - the video tends to freeze - I think there's too much info coming down the pipe and the buffer is getting overrun.
I use it as a simple TIVO - watching MPGs mostly- of TV shows I download using Bit Torrent. It is nice getting the HD broadcasts of some shows because it's like watching a DVD of a show, rather then a simple broadcast.
I don't see any reason why the Qcast wouldn't be comptible with the new PSTwo...
Gotta love it!

Use glass walls to let natural light flow throughout the office.
I worked for a radio production company. Working in an audio studio was way fun. It was also in the center of the building to minimize noise from outside the building. In addition to soundproofing, the studios were built with one window each. Both studios faced the conference room - which had a large frosted glass window that looked out on the hallway. The conference room had on its outside wall large bay windows that let it tons of light. The frosted glass windows let light flow through into our otherwise dungeonlike studios, making us feel ever so much better. The office also used little flourescent lighting. Incandescent light is more direct, and is also more natural as well.

Here's the big point I think that's missed about random play. It is essentially like listening to the radio, without the commercials, and with the music you WANT to hear.
Radio is always random in the eyes (ears) of the listener - you never know what is going to come up next. This is not a generational thing, not an MTV thing, it's a radio thing (and last I checked, radio dates back way before MTV or the current generation).

Get the freakin' spoiler off the main page! You have summarily killed my enjoyment of Jeopardy for the next few months. Asses! --*Rob
