Agreed. I consider myself one of the 'faithful' (I own 2 Squeezebox and referred another friend into buying one himself) but do no hacking whatsoever. The closest I get to tooling around is to try an occasional nightly build of SqueezeCenter, and that's usually only to fix an occasional bug or obtain new features. At first announcement, I was one of the vocal who bitched about the Controller's price, but I have now resigned myself to eagerly awaiting it's retail release and will be one of the first to order it. I've tried a Nokia 770, a PSP, a laptop, and now my iPhone. Although all of them work, the Controller will work much better and integrate as a proper remote control should: fast/responsive and intuitive. I'm just trying to decide whether or not I want to blow an extra $100 USD and just get a Duet. I'm sure I can find a use for a 3rd Squeezebox (receiver)! ;-P -- EnochLight ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EnochLight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3392 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
