Most people seem content to use general purpose uPnP or DLNA devices. A friend at work told me today I need to "give up on the squeezebox thing". He recently bought a Grace Radio because he wanted something generally compatable with his various uPnP devices. "Why do you need a special server?" he asked.
I explained that "general purpose" doesn't really work for somebody that has a large collection and wants good sound quality, ease of library navigation, and gapless playback. He just waved his hand dismissing all of that - clearly it's not something he cares about. I suspect his feelings are pretty representative of the typical user. I think that squeezebox-like devices will continue to be a niche product. I don't think you will see this integrated into any other products. Sonos is already filling this niche and is apparently successful at it. No sure that there is really room for any more...is it really that large of a niche? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97532 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
