I have adopted the Squeeze system over the past four months and love it. But my wife is ambivalent: the controller response is a little quirky and slower than she expects and the Web interface is also a little quirky and slow to load large music libraries. Non-technical people now expect a lot more from technology, including an intuitive interface, no lags, and a rich GUI experience.
I have seen muso and Moose, and those models make sense. (Unfortunately, we have a Mac.) But a stand alone PC/Mac/Linux client from LogiTech could deliver a full screen experience, permit drag and drop, iTunes style "cover flow", load the library in the background for fast response, etc., etc. -- while permitting a separate always-on, low power server to stream music. If Logitech wants to move beyond people with technical skills/patience to a mass market product, it has to move beyond the "no-PC" heritage and develop a solid client side application. Non-technical people love their laptops and iTunes. No remote contol cannot replace the rich experience that a computer screen/keyboard/mouse provides. LogiTech need something like iTunes that controls the server and the sound systems in their house. -- rksingla ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rksingla's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19702 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59260 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
