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?
