iPhone's advice is sound. I didn't think for the future but I'm really glad I happened on Squeezebox.
My requirements have changed and Squeezebox keeps meeting them start: replace iPod plugged into stereo, with remote control and visibility of now playing then: multi-room synchronous playing then: CD quality streaming then: scrolling and selecting by albumart next: different music in different rooms Alongside this, other systems do the same things but do they acheive the same quality? areas to consider are:- file range: range of codecs supported audio path: choice of DSP/DAC and amplifier/speakers (if fitted) longevity: strength of brand and commitment and abilitt to add in x years time. flexibility, adaptability: frequency of software upgrades community: alternate support and influence source: bespoke server, web based or pc music: your own and/or internet radio Interestingly your links show a NAS and a streaming system - there is no suggestion that the NAS could run the streaming software. Logitech through the acquisition fo SlimDevices have years of experience in this field supported by a large, active and vocal community. There are many new entrants into this space, only time will tell how many the market can support and how many will endure. Research and then go for it - streaming has massively improved my access to enjoyment of my collection. -- DigitalMitch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DigitalMitch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69635 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
