Looks like a pretty good device. I obviously can't comment on the sound quality, but the Transporter certainly looks MUCH nicer.
Feature comparisons are also needed (does it even measure up to a Squeezebox?): Does it do gapless playback? Replaygain? Does it support ARTISTSORT tags? Multiple genre tags? Etc etc. Just because it supports FLAC and Vorbis does not mean it supports all of their features. Other features like multi-player sync are also worth looking into. But the showstopper for me is the server software. Should this company ever go belly-up, I do not want to be stuck running their old Win32 executable in legacy emulation mode on Windows 2038 SP9 [MSRP $500]. I love SlimDevices, but God forbid they should go out of business some day, their open-source SlimServer software can be kept up-to-date forever, requiring no additional software purchase now or at any point in the future. And you really can't do better than that. -- CatBus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28615 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
