Just saw an article on Engadget for Beep, Looks interesting...

The creation of two ex-Android engineers, the project has financial backing from big names like David Dolby and Alexis Ohanian. http://www.engadget.com/2014/02/06/beep/ https://www.thisisbeep.com/ --- www.itjerk.com www.progressiverock.com djfake's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8111 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100909 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

As a user of Slim Devices for almost five years now, I too, was letting you know what I think. For a lot of years, people have been asking - myself included - for a no display, low cost Squeezebox. From the initial press release of the Duet, I thought this came true. But after using this forum, I realized that Logitech left out one part - the ability to configure the SBR without the SBC. That's too bad, because my wish - and probably many others - then didn't come true. Many of us have been using Squeeze products before Logitech bought Slim. Many of us remember the one-on-one emails with developers and tech support, and personal communication with Sean Adams. It's easy to wave communities and open source and probably even a good thing to do so. But even some of your most ardent fans can also be some of your most ardent critics.

Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
Zaragon;267684 Wrote: Mmmm... Forcing particular answers doesn't always get you the information you were after or rather it does but it isn't always the answer you need. Yes you can connect a SBR by ethernet though you currently must first configure it using a Squeezebox Controller (SBC). If you buy just a SBR and do not have a SBC you will not be able to do anything with the SBR it is a paperweight. This may change in the future. The SBR requires a SBC to configure it before it can talk on a network wireless or wired. Well the first question is then definitely FALSE. One cannot just buy the SBR and expect to use it like the old Squeezebox. 1. False - To configure the SBR, you must have the SBC. So you can buy as many SBRs as you want, but none of them will work without purchasing or using an SBC first. Logitech - this stinks. Why will you not sell a reasonably priced hardware device for use with Slimserver? All I need is a wired-only, no display device. -- djfake --- www.itjerk.com www.progressiverock.com djfake's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8111 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
Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet
Well, I've trudged through these posts looking for answers to the following True or False: I can buy a Squeezebox Receiver for $149, connect it via wired ethernet to my home network, and use Slimserver software to play music through it. True or False: If I buy a Squeezebox Receiver, and do NOT buy the Squeezebox Controller, I will NOT be able to access the Squeezebox Receiver via wireless. thanks c -- djfake --- www.itjerk.com www.progressiverock.com djfake's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8111 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
Re: [slim] Is there a lawyer in the house?
Yeah, many people seem to feel that way. I don't care at all for the actual media. As soon as I buy or am given a CD it gets ripped to FLAC and the original gets banished to some cardboard box in the loft. You'd have to delete any music you ripped if you sold any of the original CDs. . . -- djfake --- www.itjerk.com www.progressiverock.com djfake's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8111 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34366 ___ discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

peterw;194195 Wrote: Go ahead, order it. You know you want it. Especially if that SB1 does not have the 1G bitmapped display. I was pleasantly surprised how much better the SB2/SB3 display is than the SB1G display; I can't imagine using a SB1 or SliMP3 text-only display all the time! Okay I ordered it! I did get an email from Slimdevices stating the units would be logo'd with the Slim brand. The big selling points for me was: + Price: $229 (white on sale plus return user discount) + better display - the v1 _is_ hard to read across the room! + 802.11g networking w/WPA + Burr-Brown DAC + Much larger buffer for FLAC I would like to point out that one of the things I love about Slimserver Squeezebox is the community around it. I've always had good support from Slim, and always found Slim users to be very congenial and helpful. A nice club if you will. It's probably why many of us are worried about the change with Logitech. No disrespect to Logitech, but big companie$ always tend to me$$ up a good thing. I think many share this sentiment... The point about the logo is easy - I've been using Slim for just over three years. I love it. So yes, I want to be reminded that I have a Slimdesign Squeezebox, and not Logitech Squeezebox. ~ Now Logitech - make an inexpensive no wireless, no display version of the Squeezebox! -- djfake --- www.itjerk.com www.progressiverock.com djfake's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8111 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34362 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] To upgrade or not to upgrade?
I have a Squeezebox that's a little over three (3) years old. I guess it is a v1 - it has a firmware of 40? Can anyone confirm this? thanks! I'm considering purchasing a new one while it's still branded Slimdesign, but trying to justify my purchase: With the new one I get + WPA/2 Security + 24bit Brown-Burr DAC + True 802.11 g Wireless ??? Doe I have this? + Upgraded display to bitmap + Wireless bridge Anything else I'm missing?

Re: [slim] To upgrade or not to upgrade?
I should hope so, since the branding that matters is mostly in software and firmware... I guess the cardboard box, manual and the sticker on the bottom are the only printed ones. http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?HardwareComparison Okay okay, I admit I'm a snob - I don't want a Logitech Squeezebox - Gimme Slimdesign! -- djfake --- www.itjerk.com www.progressiverock.com djfake's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8111 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34362 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Logitech to acquire Slim Devices!
Before the acquisition I could send email to supportATslimdevices.com and was guarranteed to receive a personal reply the very next business day. Now I've sent the same message three (3) times and have NOT received any reply... US$20M isn't a whole lot of money for LOGI (with a market cap of US$4.5B), but we're all kidding ourselves if we think NOTHING will change. c -- djfake --- www.itjerk.com www.progressiverock.com djfake's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8111 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28821 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
