i think it was 2004 or 2005, not sure which, (it was shortly b4 the SB3 was announced). basically, i wanted a way to listen to a webstream for "the LION" without needing a computer on at all.
i forget exactly how i heard about slim, if it was on cnet or tomshardware or maybe even the now defunct tech tv, (g4 SUCKS, i miss the screensavers)... anyway, i have to say that i have been disappointed with it as a standalone solution to listen to the lion, it simply does not do it well. i have computers in other rooms that can ALWAYS stream it wirelessly on winamp np, but SN/SB2 or even SC proxied just can't do it reliably. its gotten to the point where i have basically given up for now. i'll probably wait until i get some things done here on my side, and they get 7.3 out on theirs, b4 i start bringing it up again. however, as a "jukebox" for my local stuff, i am happy with it, and thats why i've stuck with it. also, the SBC is truly a great device, and shows the real power of the solution. if they could get my lion issues solved, i'd have no major issues at this point with it. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - w/SC 7.3b - Win XP Pro SP3 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53831 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
