SqueezeCenter uses what memory it needs. It has a whole pile of things to do as well as be the brains of the NMP. Remember that all the Slim Devices are just dumb interface units. An interface to display information, receiver and pass through remote commands, and to connect the music feed to your stereo. The real power is SqueezeCenter and SqueezeNetwork.

There're called an iPod or portable MP3 player. If Microsoft can't make headway in that market with the Zune, why would Logitech waste money on it? Also locally (in your network's range), the Controller is this device with a USB drive access as large as you can afford! Just add SC 7.3 and a pair of headphones (no water please).

But a little tiring when its all about devices that already exist and can hardly be improved on. Or totally nuts when somebody wants a one off unit that is just perfect for their one unique situation.
Keep those ideas coming because it could just make somebody think of another device that hasn't been produced yet which will be of benefit to all. -- iPhone *iPhone* 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/mephone) Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, Vandersteen Quatro, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: SB3, GFR-700HD, Thiel 2.3, Second Boom Home Office: SB3, NAD C370, two VSM-1 Home Gym: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, Thiel PowerPoint 1.2 Mobile: SB3, Audioengine A5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53903 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
