I've had a Vortexbox Appliance (VBA) for a week and it's pretty sweet. The VBA will rip, tag and download the album art for each CD. It's optimized to work with Logitech Media Server (LMS), so its ideal to use with Squeezebox players. I have two Squeezeboxes and the LMS automatically detects the VBA in my network. I control all with a Samsung Galaxy 5.0 media player loaded with Squeeze Commander. It's just about the perfect set up and sounds excellent - indistinguishable from CD's.
The VBA is mostly plug and play, but it ships with very sparse instructions. I have had to lean on the VBA forum for a few things, but overall its pretty intuitive. Highly recommended.
