Actually, much as I like the Sonos "iPod control surface plus a bigger screen" approach, I /don't/ like their player with an integrated amp. Amplified loudspeakers are extremely common now and exist both at the low end (computer speakers) and the high end (OK, maybe not much in between). The last thing I want is a player with amps on the end in a big box: I prefer either a standalone player I can use anywhere, or maybe a licensed module that could be integrated into another component such as a receiver.
I have certainly thought, and have noted elsewhere, however, that someone could build a small, quiet and stunningly-industrial-designed Linux box with a CD drive and a bunch of scripts for ripping, tagging and artwork acquisition and run Slimserver on it; plus do Nokia 770s as remotes, plus OEM SB's, and/or OEM SB modules built into a component. Would SD be up for licensing an SB module? I seem to recall asking this last year but nobody got back to me. As far as Meridian is concerned (for whom I work) this particular boat appears to have been missed, but there are still people I could suggest it to. --Richard E -- relen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ relen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20304 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
