i would like to add my voice to how important a solid, reliable, intuitive spftware-based player is to complement the hardware players.
i will let logitech decide where and how the future lies. if Squeezeplay is really made to work and somehow really mostly synch (i promise i will not be pedantic, anything in a solidly guaranteed 100-200ms realm is probably good enough) i shall not obeject to it. in a pefect world, though, i think the soft player should be integrated transparently into Squeezecenter, and if SqueezePlay is coded right it could be easily turned into a little mashup window within SC. but i feel that is where this ultimately belongs. i feel Logitech (wrongly) feels that a free standalone player could erode hardware sales. here's the deal: the only thing that should be free is the integrated player in Squeezecenter, the "command center" of an entire squeeze based audio solution. Make Squeezeplay work solidly, make it good software, and then you can charge for individual Splay based clients. I'd pay $30 a pop. please deliver on this vision - i utterly agree this is one of the big squeezecenter differentiators that has remianed a promise far lomnger than it should have been. at some point in time, squeezeslave got pretty close, and i truly LOVED that. -- pablolie ...pablo Server: 3.3 GHz Intel E8600 Core 2 Duo (8GB) - Vista Ultimate 64 & Ubuntu 8.10 64 Sources: SB3 (4), SB Boom (2), Duet, Accuphase DP65v CD Amplifier: Accuphase E306v Loudspeakers: Ceeroy 3-way tuned by Darmstadt Psychoacoustics Lab Headphones: Grado SR-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60075 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
