Yeah, everyone has their needs, and we all want the perfect product just for us :P . But let's face it, the Squeezebox Controller has the main purpose of controlling our music coming from Squeezebox / Squeezecenter / Squeezenetwork from the comfort of our home, I mean, every application and every problem has different solutions, for this case, the SBR has been built from the experience learned by their past products (Squeezebox), from the competition (Sonos Controller, IPod GUI, etc.), and the feedback from their customers, so I think it has a very good chance of being a great product of it's kind, since it was built by people that know how to do a digital music player right. If they wanted to construct a Universal Remote for example, we won't be reading this at the moment, since it would be a sure thing that it would not be ready by now, more features... more time. I myself won't be buying a SBR right now, since I already own a Squeezebox 3, don't have the multi-room requirement to buy a Duet, and like many people here, the $300 price is too much for me right now, altough I'm very interested in how the software in the SBR evolves, becuase in the end, im really interested in new ways of accesing my music and internet music services/radio. -- pichonCalavera *rip* (eac) > *convert* (flac) > *tag* (musicbrainz) > *normalize* (replaygain/foobar2000) > *albumart* (winamp) > *transport* (winscp) > *store* (debian) >*rescan* (slimserver) > *play* (squeezebox) > *hear* (sennheiser) > *scrooble* (last.fm) > *enjoy* (me :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pichonCalavera's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13068 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
