I have a client who is willing to purchase a Mac Mini (or something else simple) for the sole purpose of using internet radio and playing ripped CD's.  She will not use the computer for anything else (up until yesterday she didn't even know that there was such a thing as satellite radio).  While I have connected several BeoPorts to Mac with BM-Link, my background is PC and I have not a clue as to how NRADIO works with iTunes and Mac, and I will be the only tech resource on this one.  Can you offer a little primer on this topic?  Thanks in advance.

BM-Link creates a Playlist in wich you drag all the internet radios you want to listen.

Howerer, a Mac mini sold today will be sold with Leopard and iTunes 7.5 which are both incompatible with BM-Link.

Under Leopard, the color keys, and left/right are not working, some have reported. Frontrow is broken for those who have the extra IR eye.

Under iTune 7.5, others have reported that nothing is working.

Mine is working with a Beolink 1000 ok. And with a Beo4 in the main room. Leopard and iTunes 7.5. I use a PowerMac G5 if that makes a difference.
