I'm ageing one-eared. The bad ear has ~30% function, but an almost
flat frequency response. The brain compensates, but I suppose it means I

Well they do, when you have everything set up correctly; but you have
covered the networking issues, and reinforce my pont about an icreasing
number of ordinary folk with reasonable computer skills.
The real timesink
If you want to see how a mass-market product is, well, marketed, look at
the iPod, iPhone and iPad. Look at most people's music collection in
iTunes. Then imagine (or verify) how that would play out with SB.
Collectors (us/we) are a rare breed and always have been, it doesn't

can never be without drastic
Simplifying,LOGITECH will be a contender and a leader in the wireless
entertainment field if they:
1: introduce diverse devices above and beyond the Radio; ie, Touch or
SB3 equivalent.
2: include synchronization among all devices.
3: maintain the confidence,credibility and respect of previous
I agree Squeezebox is not for everyone, but for those that can handle
its complexity it is a glorious product.
Perhaps the new products should embrace a simpler approach, but have an
advanced menu item to turn back on all the more difficult features we
