Since I first started exploring Squeezebox/Slimserver, this has been my major issue with it. Sure the display is beautiful. I'm not denying that. But the fact that they don't make a more affordable device without a display really hurts it as a whole house audio solution. I appreciate the item in the Faq about how Slim Devices is unwilling to compromise on the quality of the display. That's great - when you need a display. What I don't understand is why they don't make a device, both wired and wireless, that would enable one to bring music to rooms where a display is not needed or wanted. That beautiful vacuum fluorescent display isn't impressing anyone if its hidden in the basement or up in the attic feeding speakers built into the ceiling. The original poster's dream solution, if Slim Devices made a display-less device for around $150, would beat the living crap out of Sonos. -- NWP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NWP's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3730 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22860 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
