I completely agree with you on this one. The only thing is... I'm sure that 99% of the Squeezebox userbase are also not audiophiles. Sure, look at the questions that are posed ever so regularly on this forum. And that's only from the people that decided to do some research themselves. What percentage of people never even do that? How many people buy a Squeezebox expecting an "it just works" solution? Those are the very people that will be lured away by the various options (Such as AppleTV) that are becoming available now. Especially when they hit a snag or two with LMS. So, perhaps the question shouldn't be which is better; AppleTV vs Squeezebox.. Perhaps the question should be... which service/technology is society at large ready for. And therefore, the question is really: "Which service/technology is perceived as better by society at large" Looking at the value of Apple, I would suggest society in general prefers "it just works" over "more options/better quality/more flexibility" A great example in the past was the easier (but lower quality) of VHS vs the more difficult (But better quality) of Betamax -- AnthonioBEL ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AnthonioBEL's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=51023 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94223 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
