I think 90%+ of the people who post here like, or even love, their Squeezebox products. I own a bunch and overall they're easily one of the best purchases I ever made. I hope to the Squeezebox system for the rest of my life and losing it would be a great blow.
The negativity has to do with with a number of issues: The seemingly never-ending parade of changes to the server which add no real new functionality, but just make it more difficult to keep up. This latest "app" boondongle is a classic example. While the new devices are exciting and have greatly expanded the functionality of the Squeezebox system, there have been a number of gaffes (unreliable alarms, poor wifi, etc) which have detracted from the excitement. Squeezeplay is still half finished mess which more than two years after its release has poor 3rd party support and lacks the functionality of it's primitive predecessor. Lastly there are indications that Logitech is cooling on Squeezebox. They've embarked on an aggressive agenda, but they're not putting enough resources behind it to implement it correctly. In a worst case scenario they could leave the project in a very incomplete state if they cut back now. All this said the glass is at the half full/empty, and the fact that people are complaining means they haven't given up, which is good. The Touch is the first truly new class of device since the SB2 IMHO, if they do a good job it could really revitalize everything. -- sander ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sander's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10737 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74181 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
