I nearly bought a Netgear, as it was almost half the price, but was put off by bad reviews, and was unsure about the ability to use internet radio. For a mass consumer product, reliability is key. My CD player is 10 or 12 years old, and in all that time it has never spontaneously rebooted itself halfway through some music (unlike my squeezebox). It never starts leaving 2-5 second gaps while playing some tracks (unlike my squeezebox). When I use my CD player I never have to run upstairs to find out why it can't contact the server any more.
The unique selling point is the range of features that come with slimserver, best of all the ability to listen to BBC archive radio shows. Perhaps slimserver should be made proprietary to squeezebox, as at the moment these selling points aren't actually unique - I can use slimserver on a Roku. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
