I will say one thing (or maybe a few more). Dingostrategy is right, it *-IS-* about the music. Both devices stream music and for me, Squeezebox does a better job of that for a lot less money (read able to buy more CDs which again its all about the music after all). Cheers to Pippin for making a killer iPhone app for Squeezebox! And he is still making it better each day. Toward the end of the Sonos Fanboy rants, the faithful even admit that the Sonos is lacking but blame that on the fact that Sonos is "staying true" to what it is and not following the market. "Our system has just been upgraded to a track limit of 65K", big deal, how about no track limit using SC! That "limit" is basically 5500 CDs which for most is plenty, but not for everybody. Why have a barrier if one doesn't have to? Sort of like that 640K memory thing or the year 2000 for PCs. I still say it comes down to personal choice and how comfortable a person feels about home networking. And if one doesn't have a home network, there is something to be said about being able to buy Sonos. That solution will work with little to no effort and all that is needed is money. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, Vandersteen Quatro, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: SB3, GFR-700HD, Thiel 2.3, Second Boom Home Office: SB3, NAD C370, two VSM-1 Home Gym: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, Thiel PowerPoint 1.2 House Portable: SB3, Audioengine A5 Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Expedition: SB3, ToughBook ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65086 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
