Sure, the stability might have improved and there support for some new on line streams and the web interface has been improved a bit and support has been added to new hardware, but most of these are just more or less maintenance fixes on an existing product. I still think there is room for actual enhancements, like those mentioned earlier in this thread, but for some reason Logitech doesn't seem to be able to get to them because there is always some maintenance that's more important. I suppose the main problem is lack of resources and not lack of ideas.

I'm guessing that if the competition is able to take these steps, it's going to make the Logitech solution less attractive. It might not be a single feature that makes the difference, but a number of important enhancements in the right direction will make the difference when a user should select which product to purchase. Why do you use the Squeezebox instead of competing products ? Are there no features that the competition can add that will make you switch to their products ? -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72512 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
