Recommending someone buy something isn't quite the same thing as "selling" it. >From the discussion, we're not talking what I'd call DIY any more. If it relies on the existing LMS and its infrastructure, that part of the setup is no different than Squeezebox, and while installation and setup have never really been perfected, plenty of neophytes have gotten LMS up and running with little instruction. The device itself would be comparable to a Receiver, and with a web interface for network configuration, it could arguably be even easier to set up. > However, are we really targeting users who don't have a Squeezebox > already ? You keep using words like "targeting" and "sell". Do you have commercial aspirations for this project? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
