I bought my Squeezebox Classic some 6 months ago when the Radio and Touch weren't reality yet. Since then, I have been a happy user of my Classic with QNAP TS-239 working as a server and would recommend this setup easily for anyone asking.
These days when I go to look at the current lineup of Squeezebox'es I feel confused. There doesn't seem to be a direct replacement for Classic. If I now wanted to have a player that clearly displays what is playing, has a remote and no speakers, I would have to pay 1/3 more for either Duet or Touch. Duet doesn't have a screen (the remote has, but you can't see whats playing without finding the remote and pressing a key) and Touch has a touch screen I would never use (why would I use the sceen when I have the remote and/or my laptop?). Even when looking through the product matrix (http://www.logitechsqueezebox.com/product_matrix.html) I can't quite tell the major difference between Radio and Boom. Is Boom just an improved version of Radio? I can't be the only one who feels like Logitech is releasing these products just to get something new out. I feel like they are ruining the lineup (by making it difficult and confusing to choose between them) which is shame. Another thing I find strange is that nowhere on the Squeezebox website (http://www.logitechsqueezebox.com/) do they talk about having a server for Squeezebox. I couldn't imagine using Squeezebox with my desktop PC only (laptop, maybe). In fact, it feels like they are trying to avoid the subject of having to have your PC on all the time altogether. I guess the Squeezebox concept is rather hard to sell to non-technical people. What's your opinion on all this? -- squeez-er ------------------------------------------------------------------------ squeez-er's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32438 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72534 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
