Honestly, and I know that I'm risking getting flamed BIG time on this board, but if Logitech is going to pull the plug, I think it's time to abandon or phase out LMS in any "home built" effort! I still think the Squeezebox is THE best music player on the market. It's truly a shame that Logitech IS pulling the plug, but obviously their numbers probably dictate phasing out the hardware. I don't think ANY of us were under the illusion that the SB was setting the world on fire with sales. It was always a niche product. And that all being said .. LMS has just gotten to where it is just WAY TOO SLOW. I run LMS on a quad core i7. And at times, it just crawls .. even hangs for up to a minute or two when I am accessing a large folder. I have actually been looking for an alternative .. but none better yet exists.
Squeezeboxen .. awesome hardware. But the LMS is just getting almost unusable. For me, anyway. If the Sonos had a visual display a la the Squeezebox Classic (which I have), or the Touch (which I was scanning eBay etc for, but guess at these prices I will instead just spend money on a product which has NOT been ruled obsolete). I truly feel "dirty" contemplating Sonos, but they are still actively selling their product. They will have to be in my short-list of future music players. I just found out about Logitech pulling the plug two days ago, thus I missed out on getting an in-stock Touch in September/October when the prices were still reasonable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NFLnut's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13180 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97721 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
