I'll show my public love too. I bought a Boom and sync'd it with a server running on a media center Windows based laptop. Saw the potential for it, bought a readynas RAID array and switched the server to there; put the SqueezePlay client on the media center. So I have Squeezeplay in my mainroom downstairs, I have a loft style striaght through house, no rooms downstairs just a big open space. The mediacenter laptop is connected to a Bose Lifestle Home Theatre System.
Next up I bought a Touch to attach to the BOSE Wave Radio in my Bedroom, and a Radio for the guest bedroom and to become the portable with a rechargeable battery. I use the boom in the garage where I do a lot of my cycling sessions and weight training. I then bought a Netgear N6400 router and set-up 3-seperate wifi channels, including one dedicated to music streaming... This is now my major entertainment system, I rarely watch just TV/cable. My wants. It would have been great to have a quality home theatre system, similar to the Bose that would have hosted the Logitech Music Server with extendable storage options, ie that could front-end a RAID array. This would have significantly simplified the cabling setup. I'd like a Touch that is waterproof and has a built in amp for outdoor/deck use, that could be used with passive outdoor speakers. Passive only because it reduces the complexity of set-up and cabling. Like many others, I'd like to think there was a new boom coming which is a radio with two spears for stereo, but also has SD card slot for local playback. I'm not bothered by the lack of an FM radio. It would be good if this new "radio/boom" had a take-away menu that you could save items for takeaway much the same as a favorite... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cathcam's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43414 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93924 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
