jfalk I was interested to read your experience with Sonos. I'm currently still using my Transporter and probably will continue using it until it fails. But you never know when that might happen. I have 55,000 tracks in my music database and that grows month by month due to my addiction to buying

Just unplugged my Squeezeboxes will be putting them on eBay at the end of the month, been listening to music without them for a month and, to be frank, it's been liberating. I've gone down a mixed route - Apple Airplay/Bluetooth/Cambridge Minx/Chemical Minirig Speaker (a wonderful rugged

Not that anybody asked, but I thought I'd give my one month experience with Sonos. I have to say, other than the loss of a public display, it's been great. Almost completely seamless.. The bundling with 6 months free of Google Play Music has been a revelation as well -- now my 12,000 tracks

So my SB Classic display went dark two days ago. Went to the store today and bought a Sonos Bridge and Connect. Seems to work, though I'll miss the hardware display. I loved the SB and this community, but Logitech wouldn't play along. Thanks to all who helped me since August 2006, when I got

I intend to use the Squeezebox system for several more years, since my SB2 went wrong I haven't owned an actual Logitech device, there's plenty of alternatives but I guess it depends which features of LMS you use as to whether Sonos is a suitable replacement. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Sorry to hear that. Sonos will never be the answer for me; hope it works out for you. I know others that gave it a shot and regretted it. And it's why I've got several backup Squeezeboxen to make sure I don't have to be concerned, at least for a while. Win7Pro(x64)[3.3Ghz i5, 8GB RAM, 120GB

If I wasn't worried about syncing players, which is one of my have-to-haves, I would really look hard at some of the other alternatives to Sonos. Actually, if I didn't have to worry about sync, then I wouldn't even buy another dedicated streamer, at least for awhile. I'd try out one of the
