I just upgraded from a Sansa Connect (which I used primarily for Launchcast Plus internet radio) to a Squeezebox Duet, and I love it. However, there are some things that were a little easier with the Sansa I believe SlimDevices/Logitech could adopt for the Squeezebox Duet (some of these things aren't on the Sansa either, but I would like to see them on the Squeezebox anyway):
- It is too easy to overshoot with the scroll wheel, IMO, and there's a weird lag between when the wheel starts to turn and the selection bar moves up or down. - Scrolling with the wheel during playback should make the playlist menu appear, or if there is no playlist playing; then the Favorites menu should appear. - I would love it if I could get my customized Launchcast Plus station on the Squeezebox. If Yahoo! and Rhapsody could hook up, maybe there's hope for us Squeezebox owners? - Rhapsody channels should have descriptions appear automatically after a delay. For example, a truncated description could appear in a notification bar at the bottom of the screen and clicking the center button would pull the description full screen. - A quick shortcut to add to favorites (double click the + key, for example). - Instant playlists: Make a mix based on current artist/track. - Make mixes of streams that can be added to favorites. - Lists of Rhapsody channels should include sample album art and artists with each channel without extra menu navigation. - Make it clearer in settings which are for the controller and which are for the receiver. - The layout of squeezenetwork should be customizable. Browsing Rhapsody, for example, requires a lot of scrolling to the bottom half of the page. - Hide unwanted items from appearing in controller for faster navigation. I can already anticipate that some will view one or more of these suggestions as a change for the worse, so in those cases, making the change an option would be best, I feel.
