haunyack, I have been out of the Slim World for a while after I returned my Squeezebox. I thought the concept had potential, but like you I wound up feeling the product does not perform as advertised. My guess is they do not have a worthy development team. Just a guess, but it seems like they need more programmers, and maybe pay them more, and have them work more hours? I sense you are feeling the "void" and there is little more they can do. As a test I often try softsqueeze with the latest Slim Server builds (6.5.1). It does not play back music properly, and does some of the things it used to do a year ago, like skipping the first moments of a track and failing to playback gapless albums. I've tried these tests multiple times with completely different PC's, routers, wireless cards, and even the actual Squeezebox3. It still has potential, but just does not work properly. I would estimate the value of any of these products at around $50, considering the poorly developed server software. Once they get the software right they might have a solid hardware product. Apparently there are a lucky few who have these products working properly (or someone pays them to say so). You think?
