Well, the manufacture quality is not the best. And if you want to do a
comparison between the Soundbridge Home and Squeezebox, this is like
comparing apples and oranges.

And if you ever have checked the formerly remote of Soundbridge you
know that entering text was a nightmake.

And in opposite to all the rest of the players the SB3 is quite dump
with regards to the own device logic stuff. But this minimizes to wait
for firmware updates, that solves bugs. And on the other side the
SlimServer/SqueezeCenter is very flexible to include plugins.

Finally, I just recently tested the TerraTec Noxon that was just cut in
price due to the Pinnacle Home Version of Soundbridge. It was a pain in
the ass due to the display to configure. Bugs over bugs in the
firmware. Software you have to pay if there is an major release update.
No german special characters possible. And this device is 169€ vs. 299€
for the SB3. BTW: Soundbridge Home is 100€.

Ciao, Torsten
