What can I say, I was attracted by the fact that there was a remote app and I naturally assumed the Logitech one would be decent. I think you're right though about the potential of the system. The reason I bought a SB was because we're moving house and wanted a multiroom system that could sync to play back all our music. Naturally I looked at the other options, Sonos seemed nice but they were expensive, had a crazy mesh network making extending the range hard and there were no battery powered options available. SB seemed to have a good range of devices to cover all my needs, not be too expensive, not need yet another controller, could be controlled by my harmony remote or phone and it has a load of community apps too. I really do hope Logitech keep the product line moving, I was about to buy a Boom to go with the Radio but after researching it here it seems clear that anything that's not a Touch/Radio is probably EOL and won't be getting any new apps like the Spotify one. Also, not directed at pippin :), why develop an app at all and not invest enough time to get it working smoothly? I'm hopeful though as the app has only been out for a month, in the mean time it looks like I'm buying SqueezeCommander. -- Jaicee ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jaicee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=45802 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86487 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
