SqueezeBox is and likely will remain a niche product. Ask your friends how they listen to their digital music over their hi-fi, their own library or a subscription service. The answers will be (in no particular order):
- I don't, just use iPod (or mp3 player, smart phone, Zune) with ear buds - iPod dock (standalone or connected to hi-fi) - AVR with networking & services - third party box (PS3, Xbox, Roku, Boxee, PopCornHour, WD, Netgear, etc..) - TV (or some other DLNA device) - Sat radio - AirTunes - computer (by itself or connected to AVR) - etc... We all know the negatives of the above vs using a SB player, but those are the likely answers from 80% of the users out there. The only SB users I am aware of are those who have seen my SB players in use and only after I thoroughly demo & explain what SB is do they buy. Even then it is very few who do actually buy. In my entire social circles including family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, I've only ever run across a total of two Sonos users out there..... and I know a lot of people. Dedicated NMP's like SB & Sonos are indeed very niche markets. ;) Not to say there isn't money to be made in these narrow markets, but the numbers are small compared to the lesser devices out there. -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91460 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
