No criticism of geeks implied or intended, by the way.
I'm just thinking out loud, but it probably needs to be a niche product for me. I'd pay triple the price for a squeezebox-like quality product that had the software to back it up (i.e., not some sort of hacked DLNA/upnp). Those that just want simple will end up with appleSomething that can stream to their home system via their ithing and/or an appleTV or something. And more power to them. It works (mostly), it is simple, and you don't need to understand much of anything to use it. Even the music lovers I know get a very glazed look when I try to explain how my system works. And don't even bother trying to talk about gapless, ReplayGain, perfect sync across different players, automatic downconverting of > 16/44.1 files so that players all work, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97599 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
