The third party player apps are targeting a different use case than the Squeezebox hardware, they aren't competing, Logitech doesn't have a portable offering, instead the Logitech hardware and third party apps are working in a symbiosis making the Squeezebox hardware even more attractive. The number of people who get a smart phone Squeezebox app and put it in a docking station instead of getting a real hardware Squeezebox is not significant, people use these third party players to listen to their LMS music in rooms/contexts where Logitech doesn't offer a suitable hardware. Also, even if they would compete, Logitech would get an extremely attractive docking station solution if they produced and sold a great iPhone/Android docking station to be used with these third party player apps. An iPod Touch + good docking station is definitely more expensive and more ugly than a Squeezebox Radio, so it's not even a cheap solution, unless you already have a spare iPod Touch to always have in the docking station. erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96371 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Seriously, look at the major changes in the way people listen to music during the last 5 years, isn't that a more likely culprit behind Logitech changing direction, rather than some hobbyists (who often own quite a lot of SB HW) and a few garage companies messing with software players. alfista's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32396 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96371 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The cost is is still an issue for most people. Whole house audio does require different types of element, both physically and cost wise. I am looking at AirPlay on the new Apple Express units (only 44 16bit) as a stop gap. The lack of repair for Logitech stuff is my problem (over the years I spent over �1000 on their products). I have a boom that the knob doesn't work anymore. Last year an SB3 died, replaced two SB3 power supplies. One of my remaining SB3s has a display fault that's intermittent.

I understand that if mysqueezebox.com servers are to becomes defunct he intends to make arrangements for a license manager that is not dependent on Logitech's servers. For me, one of the biggest benefits of LMS is the ability to have menus based on additional tags. Classical music without something like this can be very hard to handle, particularly if you have several versions of the same piece, and the piece is made up of several (sometimes tens of) tracks. DLNA/UPnP is a joke for this. The SONOS size limitation is too close for comfort. LMS with Erlands plugins comprehensively fixed this for me, although not without considerable effort in tagging my music. I dread having to find another way to catalogue and play my collection in the way I want, and at equivalent sound quality.

If you've got wav files with cuesheets then you can certainly solve this problem. Try some of the software linked in earlier posts. You'll find something that'll let you split the audio into individual files using the cuesheets and tag the files with the metadata from the cuesheets. When you do this I'd recommend encoding the resulting tracks in FLAC or MP3 since both those formats support tagging (wav does not). Compared to MP3, FLAC will give you better (perfect) audio quality at the expense of larger file sizes and reduced device compatibility (virtually any audio playback device will work with MP3). If it were me I'd probably split my wav files into individual tagged FLAC files then delete the original wav files. If I needed mp3 files for some reason I'd use something like dbPoweramp to transcode my FLACs to mp3 and store those in a separate directory structure (outside my LMS library) just for use on my mp3 devices. azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96483 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I imagine the SB2 was mostly off the shelf components, add on the firmware and the Open Source software... now there's a Kickstarter project! Nah. There are loads of people already developing squeezebox-compatible players. You can get them for most hardware already. The elephant in the room is LMS. Nobody seems to give much love to the beating heart of the system. pallfreeman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37667 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96191 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Now the Squeezebox is dead, what would your next system be? And why?
Does anybody know if Logitech said something about further updating the Touch? I'm currently on the latest firmware. Just curious if somebody knows something. And, as it should be easily answered I will not make an extra thread for this: Is there a way to disconnect from wifi? I don't need it disabled completely but my network is always marked as activated. I just want to disconnect. Thanks guys!

Re: [slim] Where is controller's expansion port?
dean wrote: The expansion port is really used for factory test, low level software development and debugging. (i.e. when you need a serial console really really bad). It's not a supported feature of the product (i.e. when you plug something into it and it breaks, it's not covered by the warranty). That said, if anyone is interested in some low-level hacking, let me know and I can post the pinout of the port. -dean Obviously yes! This plug has several expensions (USB / serial / line in / line out) as shown here http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Squeezebox_Controller moreover, in case of kernel developpement (I have one ex with a half-broken lcd display ;), especially now controller is discontinued, serial can be really useful :) If any signal adaptation is needed, a circuit schematic on that would help too! tsfh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=55540 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51056 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
