Re: [slim] Potential Squeezebox Killer?

Whilst on the hunt for a new skin for my server, I came across this: http://www.flashbender.com/ (about half way down page). I liked the look, and it looked like Voco was based on squeeze and so continued my quest for that skin. I found the Voco website

Re: [slim] Potential Squeezebox Killer?

Heh... interesting layout! Their software definitely makes me feel at home - it even installed into c:\program files\squeezebox... I guess that new skin isn't part of the software yet, as the manual and everything I've found so far is only referring to the Android app. Michael Am

Funny video... that VOCO is Loco... that wasn't Latin music in my book. I agree, the web interface looks interesting. Anybody can understand what the system does from that very low budget video-ad. No technical jargon whatsoever. The world's first voice-controlled Music System... You Say It VOCO

Re: [slim] Potential Squeezebox Killer?

Now one wonders what's inside the Voco-Hardware. Some little Linux Server most probably. I installed the Voco app on my Android phone to see whether it would work with a SB. It doesn't. And my English is so poor, it didn't find a single track... (ok, with only a very small collection). --

Re: [slim] Potential Squeezebox Killer?

Did you run the VOCO server ? Yes, I did. It contained two extra plugins which provided some new CLI command, maybe those are needed to make it work ? On the remote my connected player (fab4) wouldn't even show up. I was wondering whether the voice recognition was partly based on the

I'd guess the voice control might be The Android one. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile:

[slim] Potential Squeezebox Killer?

Interesting potential competitor to Squeezebox emerging: http://www.navvo.com/default.aspx Of course, at this point there is no way of telling whether it will work as advertised or what type of codecs it can decode... time will tell.. cvj -- cvj

[slim] Potential Squeezebox killer? iTunes fans might think so...

...or not! Looks like Apple might move the iPod to 802.11G, allowing people to connect to iTunes via a WiFi spot. With a simple device like an Altec Lansing iM7 or cradle dock for your Hi-Fi, could an evolutionary step like this be a potential Squeezebox killer for home networks? I hope not!
