Hi! I've just ordered the Squeezebox 3. I have hesitated on this move for a while as I wanted:
1. UPNP support so that I can run an Appliance as a server rather than my beast of a PC 2. iTunes or similar client for real time manipulation of playlists (the web interface lacks drag and drop and the iTunes integration has a "batch processing feel" to it). 3. The ability to stream DRM files from the web music providers. So why did I buy: 1. Based on pictures on the web the display looks superior on the Squeezebox 2. I couldn't try a soft client version of the Soundbridge. I think the software squeezebox client is an excellent selling tool. Customers can "get a feel" for how the product works. A SB3 makeover to the skin may make it a more powerful selling tool. 3. FLAC support (native Apple Lossless would be lovely) 4. 802.11g NOT b. The Soundbridge appears to be B. I'm not running B traffic on my network especially for streaming. 5. Radio without server support. Just thought someone somewhere may want to know.
