My trusty Squeezebox 2 is dead. I'm not sure why. And I don't want to repair it - I live in a hot climate (Trinidad) and that nice rubbery finish has gone all sticky and gooey (the remote is covered in sticky tape to make it holdable).
I bought the Squeezebox 2 for the following reasons: - Linux and open source server software - AlienBBC My question is: what do I replace it with? Is the now-Logitech Squeeze-stuff still the best option, or are there better players now. I have a Linux media-centre PC which curently plays videos for me and runs the squeezebox server. My music is kept on a DNS-323 NAS, which has an iTunes server. I need to play music three ways. - On the Linux server with an external sound card - I currently use the Linux Rythmbox player (the NAS is mounted on this machine). - On my Macbook Pro - currently use iTunes - On my audio system - where the Squeezebox 2 was. I also want: - BBC radio streams I don't need: - the players to be synchronised - FLAC - to waste time hacking software and firmware. I used to enjoy that sort of thing (got squeezecentre working on a WL500g router!) but I've got better things to do with my time. Any suggestions on what to buy? Much as I like the squeezebox server, maybe I just need an iTunes-compatible player. -- dormant ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dormant's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2177 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86303 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
