Let's be honest, we all love the Squeezebox products and they were
number one earlier but are they really any more ?
If I would have bought my first Squeezebox today I'm not sure I would
have been as happy as I currently am. The reason I'm happy is because I
got my first Squeezebox over 4 years ago when Slim Devices was
controlling its success. It was rock solid, it had great audio quality
and it just worked. Sure, people also had network problems back then
but as long as you had a stable network and a stable server it really
just worked.
Sonos is a small company focused at making their products the best
music players out there, they obviously know that people want things
that just works. I wish I could say the same about Logitech but
honestly I can't at the moment, they really doesn't put enough focus on
getting their Squeezebox products reach their full potential. The
Squeezebox products definitely have the potential to be number one, but
it requires some effort by Logitech to get there.
Let's face it, most people really like things that just works, on
longer terms most people are also prepared to pay for this.
