Hi. I'm excited about the new Squeezebox Radio, and the Touch surely looks pretty, but regarding the user interface choice with the touch - I don't get it.
I see two ways that people will use this: 1. As the music source for a full-featured A/V system (or just an "A" system) 2. As the music source for a small, stand-alone system with a set of powered speakers. I use my Duet in a setup like #1. I have a full-featured remote (the Duet Controller OR the iPeng on the iPod touch) that I use to surf around. The screen is right in my hand - easy to see, etc. What I can't imagine is a screen all the way across the room...and I don't see me getting off my big butt to walk over there and change music. I have great vision, but a small LCD screen across the room? Difficult at best. #2 - that'll work fine, and I'm sure it'd be great. But the Boom does that already...complete with speakers. Yeah, there's the screen, I guess. Other ideas... Have some sort of "remote input" setup for the Touch and use it like a jukebox controller. You'd still need to run the audio signals from the touch back to a receiver/amp. Am I missing something? BTW - I'm ordering the new Radio today. Just what I need for my small nightstand. -- kpfeif ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kpfeif's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9991 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67390 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
