Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Praise

2020-08-25 Thread NFLnut


Agree 100%. I've been using Squeezeboxen since ~2007 and I have never
wanted to use anything else. Sad that Logitech stopped production but
grateful that they continue to sponsor the server and this discussion.
There is no better streaming server, IMO. And it does keep getting
better and better. Still hoping for a *simple* *secure* integration with
Amazon Music without opening ports to the internet. And a *simple*
*secure* way to access my server away from home. But I still use this
server every day. I only wish I had the knowledge to contribute to the
software, but I truly appreciate those who do!

Thanks for the hint - I did not know that. However I sold all of my
Sonos stuff so there's no need atm. :)

Hi there,

thanks a lot for all your effort! Around 10 years ago I started with a
Squeezebox Radio and switched to Sonos a while after that. Over the
years Sonos changed some things within their eco system I did not like
and with their announcement to drop support for older devices I searched
for an alternative. I tried Echo Dots from Amazon but there are some
disadvantages. So I started to build my own multiform system based on
Raspberry Pis and LMS. What can I say? I am more than happy! :D The
system works as expected, I can stream through LMS, Airplay and Spotify
Connect. Again: Thanks a lot for everything!!!

BR
Michael

I couldn't agree more. I've been using Squeezeboxes for so many years
now and the community, dedication, support... has always been amazing.

With Squeezeplay being as amazing as it is now, this is pretty much
future proof as long as the community wants it to be (and we manage to
have dedicated developers onboard).

Thanks to everybody, really.

Well, somebody should say, Hear, Hear!  There are a bunch of amazingly
dedicated, helpful, expert and quick folk in this Forum.  I recently had
horrible problems with an update of another piece of "legacy" software -
Thunderbird email - that I've used for 20 or so years - no real Support
Forum at all now, for some reason, even though the good folks at Mozilla
are still working on it  So, the SqueezeSupport here - all
voluntary - is truly amazing.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Praise

2020-08-18 Thread dagb


I just fired up LMS 8 after I fell off the Squeezebox train a couple of
years ago. (There were perfectly good reasons for it at the time.)

I have not kicked the tires really hard yet, but my goodness You
guys are definitely not just keeping this thing alive! It works as great
as ever, it handles my streaming service as well as my local files, and
now also Sonos devices are handled seamlessly via the DLNA bridge.
Podcasts. ...

And the material skin suddenly makes this thing look fabulous on a tiny
screen as well. Subject to taste, of course. I love it.

I am very, very grateful for what you all do. I will not mention
particular names/handles, you know who you are. 

Thanks!
