Anyone seen this? Not sure why I bought the magazine as it rarely has anything interesting in it. Don't think I will buy it again after this :(
It has a round up of 7 wireless media players ranging from the Netgear MP101 at £75 with the squeezebox2 being the most expensive at £200 (not sure where they got that price from!) The winner is the ROKU Soundbridge M1000 (5/5) and the Pinnacle Show Center (5/5). Main problems with the Squeezebox were deeemed to be - No DRM support - probably fair enough. - Too expensive at £200 - as I said not sure where they got this price from, at the time you could have got it for £150. - Only connects with one server , slimserver - Doesn't mention SS integration with I-Tunes - No UPnP support What suprised me the most with this roundup is that there is absolutely no mention of sound quality. Like is that not important??? Come on guys what is the point of having a Wireless media player if it sounds like cr*p. The screen also didn't get a mention which is surprising as we are comparing players with a seriously good screen with ones without one at all. Also no mention of the 11g wireless, open source nature of the software, the number of plugins, WMA/FLAC native decoding etc etc Shoddy. -- mattybain "That suit's as sharp as a page of Oscar Wilde witticisms that have been rolled up into a point, sprinkled with lemon juice and jabbed into someone's eye!
