Generally apps work a bit slower off a stick than they do off the PC (particularly a slight lack of responsiveness or lag) but still better than not having the app at all. Actually portable applications can usually be installed direct on a PC, even if conventional installations are blocked. This is because they do not interfere with the Windows Registry.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Products I would like to see.
I personally don't want the USB option - but batteries would be brilliant. One thing though, I think the USB option is not as complex as needing a PC - there are plenty of very small, very inexpensive amp/speaker devices that accept USB sticks. (many of them are iPod docks or similar, but others are not) That said - an inexpensive mp3 player and a stereo cable makes just as much - or more - sense. -- Dingostrategy Dingostrategy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19528 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62837 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Even nicer than a SB classic ... just like transporter does ... Limited to WMA MP3 playback? Does it even have digital outs (all specs are in German)? Limited to UPNP utilizing WMP or iTunes? No access to online music services? 5x bigger than an SB3? Of course not. Digital out is AFAIR only RCA, but it's there. There's also a website similar to SN to add/edit web radio favorites, get podcasts and so on. Unsure about additional services, didn't try it, but they're not very important for me. Really important is only MP3 and web radio. And MP3 directly via USB, without dedicated, pricey and energy eating $$ server hardware/NAS which has to be maintained and administrated. Just put a simple, noiseless and cheap USB Stick in it and have access to 16 or more GB of MP3s, what means at least 200 CD albums ripped for me. O.k., no NTFS capability, FAT32 only, but that's o.k. I only returned the Muvid to the vendor because of its lousy WLAN performance. In german hifi communities I was told that many other users see an excellent WLAN performance, but my copy was bad. Maybe the internal antenna connector was loose, but one of the case screws was warranty sealed and I didn't want to lose the warranty ... There was no other copy in the store, so I went to a SB classic which is a nice piece of hardware, too. It sounds clearly better, supports more file formats, has more online capabilities and the case is very well built, too :-)). And for a price close to the SB3?? In germany actually it's 36% less, but that was not the point. I could see adding a USB connection to the Boom (which does have a line in) as it is designed as a portable all-in-one device. But for any dedicated box like the SB3 I think it is unnecessary as your server must be close by so just add that USB device to the server computer. Server ? I don't use any dedicated server. And I don't want one at the moment. Very rarely I use my Notebook with SC. A simple slim 2,5 USB hard drive is the only thing I would buy for audio purposes when going for FLAC ripping my CD albums for better audio quality.
