To tell the truth, I never liked the name Squeezebox. It reminded me
of that song I hate by The Who. I think they might be British.
The first time I encountered the word (to) squeeze must have been in
Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, where somebody squeezed his pimples...

Probably so, but it sure doesn't make me think of high-end audio
equipment. Neither do Slim Devices or Logitech, for that matter.

I totally agree. I think it demeans what is an excellent product.

Hello,
With the renaming of SlimServer to SqueezeCenter I'm wondering would
there be any possibility of releasing some graphics files for the
defaukt skin with the 'correct' English spelling?
Or even a 'localised' version for us anglophones?
As I said, frivolous...
Best regards
Mike

Exactly! Squeeze Center / Centre is a silly name anyway.
SqueezeManager or SqueezeCommander or SqueezePortal would be better

On balance, I'd have to agree with the argument that 'SqueezeCenter' is
the actual product name and, as such, I'll stick with it...
Interesting to note, though, that the 'issue' has alread been addressed
by third parties.
'Center' does catch/hurt my eye though...
Btw, last night's

Anglophiles, does that put this matter to rest?
No, because you got it wrong in the first place. Imagine how idyllic
life could have been:
Wow, you got problems. Interestingly there's no Francophone, Germanophone,
XYophone discussing. We suffer from these anglicisms in our languages all
I can remember a time when i lived in Banbury England for 4 years. There
was a sign that pointed to Banbury Center although be it only a few
days before it got changed.
We Yanks have infiltrated as can be seen by this UK business.

I think many Americans seem to be under the impression the
British/English care a great deal, which mostly they dont - we know
full well that English is an bastardised illogical mish mash of Old
English, French, Latin and several other languages. Strangely enough,
it seems to often be the case
