I'm torn here. There's so many ways to get your music from anywhere to anywhere, unlike when I purchased my (still-running) SB2 nearly six years ago, when it was one of the few options. There's still a lot of players and for most users the simplest solution will win. That's probably AirPlay if you're an Apple user, otherwise it's DLNA or whatever. Only if you care about sound or have a large library do you need something better. There will always be a market for those people and I don't know how well Logitech is prepared to handle that market in the future. I think they don't know if they're going for that market or the mass media market, and thus they're not really anywhere.
I do think as well they lose some business to Sonos. Hey, we all know its limitations and that it's expensive, but it's also dirt simple for people who have a little extra money to spend. Running a server doesn't fly for many people. (I love it, because I can tweak things--in fact, I plan on upgrading my home server in a few weeks.) Then again I just got a friend with a Duet to install Slimserver and he's now ripping his CDs to FLAC, wheras before they just used mysqueezebox streaming. I feel bad in some ways becuase Logitech hasn't gotten a penny of revenue from me--my SB2 just keeps working. If it died today I'd probably buy a Touch and keep on keeping on, but I would like to know the future of the Squeezebox platform, or at least hear from Logitech what their commitment to the platform is. -- mrfantasy --Mike http://last.fm/user/mrfantasy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mrfantasy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1127 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87951 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
