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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NFLnut's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13180 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97539 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
