Interesting how people have different experiences with the same product. My two Touchs, an old SB3 and a Radio are quite reliable whether it is playing NPR on the Radio in the kitchen or choosing music off my server for the main stereo. And, if the Squeezeboxes ever collectively die, I know my (backed-up) music collection is still there on my server in a standard format, waiting for whatever my next music player happens to be.
Other than dusting, I'm not quite sure what maintenance the SB players need. The music server (a Vortexbox) needs an occasional upgrade and I periodically add new music to the collection, but that's all easy enough and it'd still be required even if I was using a different playback system. I was sad when Logitech discontinued the Touch and Transporter, but recognize they apparently never got the sales volume they needed out of of them. However, I gather component based 2-channel music-only systems are way out of fashion these days. That said, I'm a perfectly happy aging dinosaur with my discontinued gear. ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100307 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
