I do not agree with you... at least not totally... User friendliness of Squeezebox have to be improved and right now it could be considered as an "advanced user" bundle. But in itself, the product has all the characteristics needed to be an idiot proof product. If you don't want to go any further than the basic functions (offered by most products in this category), it's novice friendly. When I first plug my SB, entered the wpa key, installed the slimserver and tell him "my music files are there", everything worked at the first try and the remote behavior is very user friendly (my girlfriend used it the first couple of hours at least as well as I do). Bells and whistle could be added to get the slimserver more sexy, and to put advanced functions in the hands of novice users.. that is true. MiniPC, NAS, all this stuff is geek only (or nearly) and there could also be available a PnP NAS or SlimBox (appleTV style) piece of hardware to offer the power of "SB without a computer". -- vrobin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ vrobin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11705 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37600 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
