I originally chose Squeezebox over Sonos for a few reasons: - I wanted the ability to run the server software on a Network Attached Storage box and play my music without requiring my computer to be running. At the time, Sonos didn't have that capability, although it does now.
- Sonos did not initially offer players designed to connect to existing stereo systems. They wanted to sell you their amplifiers and speakers instead of leveraging what you already own. (Sonos now offers players designed for connection to external systems, but that wasn't the case early on.) - I like that Squeezebox software/firmware is open source. If/when the manufacturer stops supporting it, a few knowledgeable programmers could keep it running, at least well enough to maintain existing functionality, when new versions of computer operating systems come out. Good luck keeping Sonos software alive if the company ever goes out of business. My Squeezebox system has been up and running for years, and I see no reason to change systems now. -- TiredLegs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TiredLegs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89411 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
