  1. DubyaVeeU, don't know if any of these replies addressed your question but as I have a 3808CI as well, I think I can provide some useful info. The 3808 is a very good piece of equipment for what you want to do. Probably as good or better than the other things that have been suggested. There are several ways you can go. No matter what, you will need to get a HDMI cable to run from the receiver to your TV. This is necessary to get your GUI displayed in a more user friendly format. For the first option, you will need to set up a network through which your computer can control the 3808 and the 3808 can access your music files on the computer. A simple and cheap router will suffice for this purpose. I like hardwired stuff for simplicity, security and stability. It may take some research and work to get everything set up properly but it is worth it. The next option is probably the simplest though. Burn all your music files on an external USB hard drive (Exact Audio Copy worked very well for me and it is free) then plug the hard drive into the USB port on the 3808. You will be able to access the hard drive through the Net/USB function and play what you want. I do not yet know if the 3808 will allow you to set up play lists, etc. If it doesn't, you may have to go for the first option and use Windows Media Player for that type thing.
