Re: [slim] Spotify (officially) on SqueezeboxServer?

In fact we even made it so that the 2 versions will work at the same time. As Triode's plugin works on Transporter, Boom and SB3...I will continue using Triode's solution with my players. But, will we be able to do that in the future too? Is the plugin still working (and available) next year and the year after that? I'm afraid that Transporter, for example, will drop in sale if there's no official soultion offered. I love the idea of streaming Spotify through squeezenetwork without even using a PC. Isn't there a way for Logitech to create a lite version of the plugin for the older players (with less memory inside?). I'm afraid that's tricky stuff for bigger companies but I really want my players to work with Spotify even in the future without having to swith the Transporter to some SB Touch...

TheLastMan;601940 Wrote: Yes they do, its called the SqueezeBox Touch! OK, hardly high end but pretty good hi-fi. Anybody really serious about high end can team it up with a top notch DAC and get 99% (or more) of the audio quality available from the Transporter. I think we will have to be happy with that as Logitech are not a high-end audio company. I think Andy and co must have accepted that SqueezeBox's future was as a mass market product if Logitech took over. Already I think the Transporter is no longer a current model and they are simply using up their parts stock. Once they have used up all the parts they will stop making it and that will be that. I am (probably vainly) hoping that they might do a dumb version of the Transporter - a sort of super-Receiver with all the high quality network and audio hardware/connectors but without the big box, buttons and VFDs. Most serious buyers would have either a Controller or iPeng anyway. Interesting thought, However you could check these Naim high end networkers http://www.naimaudio.com/hifi-product-range/579 and http://www.naimaudio.com/hifi-product-type/577 these are serious Transporter-killers. They're maybe not worth the price but it would be nice after all to see a new Transporter in the news...beating up Naim and the others ;-) -- banananas banananas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42966 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84670 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
