I just took the plunge on the ONE, instead of looking at spending > $500
on a used Touch. For the last couple of years, I had thought about
buying a Touch, just mostly for the color screen. Not for the "Touch"
control. I just don't go over to the Squeezebox to play music. I am
usually controlling from the web UI or the Controller. But since the
Squeezebox is (apparently) a dead platform (thanks a lot Logitech!), I
am moving on. I will still use my Squeezebox and Controller in a
bedroom, but if the ONE is everything they claim it will be (even
subtracting about 15% that won't happen), I see it as the Squeezebox
replacement and it will replace my 6 year old Squeezebox as my living
room/housewide music controller. Plus, it's just cool looking. The Sonos
never interested me .. plus until recently it was just too darn
expensive when there were equal/better alternatives like the Squeezebox
family.

I have loved the Squeezebox since the SlimDevices days. But Squeezebox
Server has been a love/hate deal for me. It WAS the best thing out there
in its day. But there were a fair number of shortcomings, and the UI and
server would lock up on me so many times when I just wanted to change a
song. If Logitech has plans to come out with a Squeezebox replacement
(and not talking about the new, crippled SB radio) they had better do it
quick. They will lose out their core followers (US) to new competition
like the ONE.
