I am drawn to the Squeezebox solution to computer audio for a number of reasons, open source and open standards being among them.
As I understand it the only software that is not "free" is that associated with the receiving hardware. That seems a reasonable business model. Slim/Logitech have to have some income from the project or there would be no hardware. I do wonder if Loigitech will licence this hardware/software solution so it may be incorporated into other manufactures solutions. It would be nice to have an open standard for audio streaming - that would facilitate development and enable users to attach whatever hardware took their fancy to the same network. At the moment Apple, Sonos and Logitech and Linn have different standards, and as others jump into the market it will get even more fragmented. Have I understood the issues correctly? -- Labarum Brian Beresford DAC - Quad 405-2 refurbished by 405man - Quart 980s German Tower Loudspeakers.
