The Radio runs a linus OS with a LUA interface on top and an audio player in the back ground. This is all labled as SqueezeOS. So yes, it is a lot more like software than the embedded firmware of the previous generation of players.

You can't please everyone all the time :) VFDs suck power, especially high resolution ones like in the SB3 and Boom, so battery life would be a lot lower than with an LCD. I was sceptical of the LCD on the Radio and Touch to begin with, but after using it all through the Beta Program, I've come to love it, and to be honest, the VFD on my Boom and SB3s looks pretty tired and old fashioned. -- funkstar my collection: *1*x squeezebox radio *1*x squeezebox touch *1*x squeezebox boom *2*x controller, *1*x receiver *2*x sb3 (sliver/black), *1*x sb2 wired (silver) *1*x sb (black), *1*x slimp3 (with rear shield) interested in any others if you have them! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69446 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
