I may have backed the wrong horse too. I am a network, VOIP and systems engineer working on the field for around 15 years now.
I bought SLIMP3s way back when and used to order them im bulk to save shipping and sell them on to friends (at no extra charge) and have turned in to a bit of a Squeezebox evangelist. For about a year now I have not had a stable SB environment. Wierd issues have come up (Only playing one track, the sync being terrible or general dropouts) I also find the concept of Squeezenetwork and changing between the server and SQN strange. I constantly had to explain to people how to swap between the two (Digging down in to the Menus of a SB3...) I also think that the Duet is the worst thing I have ever seen but the Squeezebox Radio is extremly cool! I bought 3 Sonos S5 and set them up in a snap. Everything has been rock solid for a week! Everybody knows how they work and it just works! I understand that most threads are about people not getting things to work because their powerline adaptors are not working with thier 30$ routers which are crashing and have no range or whatever, but I live in a semi detached house in a area where most people don't have wireless and use state of the art (so to say) network equipment. I should be excellent at getting these things to work... Over the last couple of months I have found myself listening to less and less music... Just because I can't face the frustration of the SBs not working... Never the less I was thinking of getting rid of my SB network and buying a Sonos system. It costs a lot more, but what is the price of having something that works and people enjoy using... I am still on the fence.. Maybe Logitech should stop worrying about people being able to tell each other on Facebook what track they are listening to or getting certain apps to work.... Just make the systems work in sync without dropouts and without missing a beat! -- Sike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2458 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89411 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
