Question: Why do you continue to use Squeezebox ?
- I'm satisfied with the Squeezebox system, why change something that
works good ?
- I have already invested too much in Squeezebox devices, would cost
too much to switch
- I have just purchased a new Squeezebox and won't switch to
something else anytime soon
- I love the 3rd party plugin/app model and would only switch to
something else that supports this
- I would consider switching if someone offered something with
similar functionality
- I have already started to look for something else but haven't found
anything interesting yet
- I have already started or completed the transition to something
else

A lot has happened on the hardware side for everyone that don't have a
pre-amp and external speakers in every room:
RECEIVER - MARCH 2008
- which allowed a cheap alternative to expand to another room
- which made third party remotes like iPeng and SqueezePad and
SqueezeCommander possible thanks to additions needed for the Squeezebox
Controller remote
BOOM - AUGUST 2008
- Stereo player in a room without external amplifiers and speakers
RADIO - SEPTEMBER 2009
- Small player for rooms which don't need stereo
- Battery based player that could be taken out in the garden
TOUCH - APRIL 2010
- Mainly an upgrade of the Classic with better sound
- Could have been a lot more if the built-in server had worked
reliable
I'm more disappointed at the progress on the software side than the
hardware side. If Logitech continue to release new hardware every year
as they've done the last three years it really doesn't look bad on the
hardware side. Of course, I personally doubt we will get any new
hardware during 2011, but this is just a feeling and not based on any
real information from Logitech.
