For me I don't think there is a clear winner. I have a selection of older squeezeboxes (classic and boom) an Android phone with SqueezeCommander and a couple of PCs from which I can run the Squeezebox Server Web UI.
I probably use SqueezeCommander on the phone the most because I always know where the phone is - either in my pocket or on charge at my bedside so I don't need to search for it. It seems to do most things pretty easily. The control of synchronisation with SqueezeCommand seems easier than with the Web UI. For assembling a complicated playlist the Web UI seems easier but I don't always have a PC turned on (Squeezebox Server runs on a NAS) so it isn't quick and easy for more trivial tasks. For the room I often use the controls on the front for the simpler tasks like on/off, pause/play, play the last track again. Probably least useful is the remote that goes with the classic. Firstly I only have one between two classics and secondly there is the issue that seems to apply to all remote controls - where is it when you need it? On that last subject my parents have taken to putting the remote control for their TV on top of the TV so they always know where it is. It seems to me that rather defeats the object of having a remote control - if you always have to go to the TV to operate the controls the buttons may as well be on the TV in the first place. Perhaps that is a good idea - I wonder if any manufacterer would have the courage to make a TV with no remote but the buttons mounted on the TV just like in the old days? -- Fozzy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fozzy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8592 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84285 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
