Putting the server on the player will chew up the limited CPU/Mem available for the UI all while it makes so little sense to have the server on the networked media player to begin with. In a dream world the Squeezebox would be a connection hub. erland wants USB which I dont care for, others will want the line in for their random devices, I would like Bluetooth personally if anything, I'm sure many will want an iPod dock. The Squeezebox currently does local networked files and internet hosted content, but it mostly lacks the physical connections. The physical connection swiss army knife will be what sky rockets the Squeezebox price and I doubt there is even that much a reason for doing it considering there is already so many existing products in that market. Users either want a networked player or a local content player and will rarely ever cross over uses. Logitech sell iPod dock speakers, the Logitech Radio had a line in, your tv/game console/disc player can play USB, why would those users buy the Squeezebox to begin with? The Squeezebox is a networked media player, it plays your files from your network(read from your server) or from the internet, does it need to be extended at great price cost and extra complexity to be an all-in-one fixed media player also? Im lost on what so many people in this thread(and many others) want from their Squeezebox network media player. They are stuck on the fact they dont want their PC on but cant explain what files Squeezebox will be playing if the PC is off. If the user does not want a networked media player, why on earth are they looking to buy a Squeezebox? -- bits ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bits's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13375 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94109 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
