Well, I have been plodding along with my Squeezeboxes for many years now. A SB2, Radio and Boom, all on the server software used here (not the new one from Logitech).
Generally speaking, I have always been rather happy, as the devices cover the main bases I require: * Internet radio - with 6 presets on the front of the Boom (It is surprising how hard that is to find). * Access to my extensive music library from the NAS (and access from all devices either separately or synced together). * Spotify access (although this is a tad limited and not very well integrated). * Control via the iPad (I use iPeng). I love it, but there are a couple of issues: * I get odd buffering problems with the radio, which shouldn't be as I have a 50mb line and can happily stream live HD TV at 3600kbps from other countries, or Netflix 1080p at 6000kbps*. * My old SB2 is about to give up the ghost. The second problem is where I consider it all quite serious. I would like to replace this, but am I correct that Logitech do not make the Squeezebox range any more? * One of the reasons I never switched over to the new firmware and server was because of my SB2, but if I did find a modern replacement, would I be better off switching over? The problem is, I never see any real alternatives on the market out there that has everything the Squeezebox's had. A lot of people talk about Sonos, but they don't seem to have a Boom with the presets that work so well with Internet Radio, not something simple like the SB2 with a nice display showing what is currently playing. Is there anything out there that compares to Logitech's Squeezebox ecosystem with the features I need? By the way, I've been with the Squeezebox for nearly 10 years, and if I could, I'd rather stay :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Justme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=369 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102940 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
