Re: [slim] SB Alternatives
I do not care about open/closed source unless it is properly supported. There are many open source projects that it is just a facade and a mechanism to not doing any kind of proper support and commitment. Open source projects frequently lack any kind of roadmap and what's actually assures you in the continuation of the project is the community of users and availability of developers. michael123's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23745 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96241 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

pippin, you're have a commercial product you sell so the current state of things is comfortable for you. iPeng is a nice application (when I tried it), although I work with Android devices. I paid Logitech so far around 3000$ for Transporter, Squeezebox 3 and Radio, and I'm willing to pay for the software upgrade as well (50$ a year?).

The library based today with this one-hour scanning is less convenient that it might be. Browsing my 3000+ album library is not possible basically. I need to use search.. and I want the search engine to be more powerful (see J.River for example) Tags are not visible unless I click on the specific song Sox transcoding is slow and kills the server sometimes, and quite always there is a delay of 10-15 seconds before streaming.
