Interested in your experience with this. I have been struggling with this myself. I have used a Squeezebox setup for more than a decade and as much as it pains me, I want something simpler, with better streaming media integration. The dealkiller on the Sonos, Bluesound, and apparently some others is the 65K (or similar) limit. I just don't understand this. My perfect system has direct support for popular streaming media, a good app, and no absurd limit for files I host locally. It should ideally be able to seamlessly integrate between sources, e.g. I'd want to be able to play a song from Spotify, then queue up a song from my local library to play afterward. Sonos can do this. As long as my local library isn't that big, which it is. If Sonos had direct Plex integration, I'd buy it, and just use Plex to host my own stuff. But it doesn't, and in their forums they've said they have no intention. I have no idea why they are trying so hard to prevent people from being able to use their system effectively, but there it is. So I've been trying to figure out which way to go... Heos also looks interesting. My major concern with the Sonos-like competitors is that they won't last; I don't want to be stuck with an orphan that doesn't get updated as new services and technology evolve. I've also been considering just getting a generic DLNA networked music player with Spotify Connect and DLNA support and just serving it all from Plex, but I lose the integration between services. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jamietrew's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64609 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96241 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
