Re: [slim] Radio v. Boom????
Guys, the concept of additional SBs was never the problem. Just having to spend the money. Like I said at the top, I've had a Slim Devices branded SB3 as part of our living room setup for 3+ years. We use it all the time. When the TV isn't on, the SB3 usually is, whether for active listening, background music or NIN's Closer. ;-) Yeah, I know, TMI. She handled it well. Probably helped that the same day I told her about the SB purchase she got a Kate Spade bag on clearance...which normally retails for the price of a Boom. Expensive purses are her weakness. It looks like I'll be using the Boom's remote with the Radio. I don't need it with the Boom, because 1) it's in reach and 2) it's in my office so I'm always in front of computers with easy access to the WebUI, Moose, Squeezeplay or any other way i want to control the thing.

[slim] What If Logitech Partnered with VortexBox?
This was brought up in another thread recently and for the life of me I can't find it. It's probably good to break a discussion of this into a separate thread anyway. I think this could be a good idea. It's obvious that the Touch will always have limitations as a server. VortexBox could allow Logitech to offer a reasonably priced alternative. It's been developed from the beginning as an appliance, which would position it well with the rest of the product line. Though it's improved a lot since the beginning, CD ripping and tagging has been the weak area of Vortex box when compared to something like dbPowerAmp IMO. So, what if it was taken a bit further. What if VortexBox offered a version had an HDMI connection? And had GNOME or KDE desktop installed? With WINE? And a wireless keyboard/mouse (Logitech makes them I think ;-)? They could also partner with Illustrate, the creators of dbPowerAmp, to include that in the bundle. All preconfigured to run right out of the box! And while we are at it, throw in a version of squeezeplay with an HD skin that looked nice on a big screen TV? That could be a pretty sweet product I think. One stubmling block I can think of is I wonder if there is a license issue with WINE that would make VortexBox/Logitech leary of including it in the box. I'm sure Agilis would jump for joy if a partnership like this were proposed, assuming the terms were beneficial.

I'm not sure people want another computer, they want a box that rip and play music. If you want detailed control of the tagging, use a standard computer, pretty much everyone have a computer in the house so this shouldn't be a major problem. The issue that VortexBox solves is that you can just insert your CD in a box and after a while it appears on your Squeezebox in the living room. As long as you use common music and doesn't care if the tagging of genre is slightly incorrect it does a really good job IMHO. In the latest version it integrates Subsonic so you can even edit the tags from your laptop using a web browser. The problem with HDMI connection is that people are going to want more, when you start to give them access to it on the TV they are going to want it to play video and record/playback TV. It's quickly going to grow into a media center solution and then it have to compete with Microsoft MCE, MediaPortal, MythTV and similar solutions which does TV and video a lot better than VortexBox ever will, mainly because it's going to be restricted by the hardware. maggior;539039 Wrote: And while we are at it, throw in a version of squeezeplay with an HD skin that looked nice on a big screen TV?

Re: [slim] What If Logitech Partnered with VortexBox?
Thanks Erland, that was the post. Seeing what thread it was under, it's no wonder I couldn't track it down again. I was thinking in terms of Vortex box doing all of the heaving lifting for development and support and Logitech would OEM it and slap a Logitech logo on it. Though they would then want it to be piano black and have some funky shape too. Erland, you make a good point that once you have a keyboard, mouse, and require a screen you've morphed the appliance into yet another computer. I was thinking of those things as optional, part of an upgrade package. If there was a way to deal with dbPowerAmp via a web page, that would be ideal. That also eliminates the need for KDE and WINE. I think they have set the bar regarding CD ripping, so anything that doesn't include AccurateRip will always be second best IMO. If somehow that could be incorporated into VortexBox, then I think they would have the whole package. But I'm sure we aren't talking the sort of volume that would make any sense for Illustrate to provide custom software to Vortex box for this purpose. VortexBox, as it is, is a bit of a niche product. What I'm talking about would make it even moreso. The fact of the matter is that as-is, the Vortex box IS a PC in an appliance's clothing, so its functionality could always be expanded down the line if it made sense. -- maggior Rich - Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 Duet, 1 Receiver, 1 Touch.

This is made even simpler and convenient since I got a netbook... How do you control your music? Really needed other poll options. I think iPeng should have been one of the choices. Depends on which Squeezebox(es) I am using and in what room and why. I really like the features that the WebUI has available so if I am near a PC I will use that. Next is iPeng because I usually have my phone next to me anyway. I do a lot on the Touch. I have a Controller in two different rooms so they are the choice when in those rooms or during parties. I rarely use the IR Remote and when I do it is usually my Harmony 1000, not the factory remote (have 10 of those in a draw without batteries). Transporter is a combination of TransNav Knob and iPeng. On the Booms and SB Radio, I really just use the knob (and iPeng for anything involved). Speaking of 10s of thousands of tracks, try that with CDs. That is one thing I like about Touch, tap and hold while I scroll and I am at a specific letter quickly. Makes it very handy with huge libraries.

Re: [slim] What If Logitech Partnered with VortexBox?

Also I'm not sure what advantage there sre in a partnership.

Re: [slim] What If Logitech Partnered with VortexBox?
Personally I think it would kill Vortexbox. They are doing well in their own right. Released 1.2 in March and 1.3 in April. Plus by being independent, they can add the items that Logitech will not touch. Slim Devices has been around for years and never sold servers. Look what happened when they tried to partner with an NAS maker. I kind of think keeping them separate is the best of both worlds. Logitech makes good NMPs and Vortexbox makes great server software and sells their own server appliance. Don't think they should mess with a good thing. Besides, Logitech has a linux server now with TinySC running on the Touch. Granted its not an all in one solution because of no ripper, but if one can use the Touch with a USB drive, one probably already has a ripped library (or can rip). -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77758 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Logitech wouldn't have to sell it and support it themselves, they'd just have to recommend it officially for users that don't want to have a computer running. Basically put a link on their web site to the recommended VortexBox server solution. The advantage for VortexBox is obvious, the advantage for Logitech is that they get rid of some complains from users that want a server solution that isn't a computer. Many of these doesn't seem to want a third party solution unless it either has a Logitech logotype or at least is officially recommended by Logitech. I'm not sure exactly how this would work with VortexBox, but I know Logitech has done it with ReadyNAS before and they have also some similar things with the iPhone applications (adding a link to them from their official site). The advantage for the customer would be that they would be able to get a solution with a partner which Logitech officially works together with to offer a good server solution.

Yes, you are right. After Erland's post, I can see where I went totally overboard with what it could be. The more I thought about it, anybody that cares about the rip process and wants full control over the process (i.e. what tools are used), they will already have a setup. And they can continue to use that setup by accessing the VortexBox via network share. agillis;539105 Wrote: Also I'm not sure what advantage there sre in a partnership. VortexBox is already designed to work perfectly with SqueezeBox and you can already buy VortexBox appliances from the same stores you buy a SqueezeBox from such as Amazon. The point would be that if there was an official plug for VortexBox from Logitech as a recommended server solution for when the Touch isn't enough (i.e. you have more than 3 other players, or whatever the documented minimum is) it would lead more customers that way. More business for you and probably less support headaches for Logitech.
