A provocative title to counter all the "I will leave the Squeezebox Community" threads. I am really astonished how many people state in this forum that they leave the community and Switch to Sonos and other systems. I will stay with Squeezebox and actually I am buying used equipment for my friends to provide them with the best experience of music ever: in my personal opinion, the Squeezebox experience has never been as good and as cheap as it is now. Let me explain why I prefer squeezebox versus all other solutions on the market:
- Software players are available for all major operating systems including android, Mac, Linux, Iphone, Windows... - Many browser software is available on all operating systems (androidk windows, iphone...) - Cost-effective Squeezebox compatible servers are available, e.g Raspberry Pi (even MusicIP works there) - It is compatible to the outside world (e.g. Apple, DLNA, Chromecast) thank to Philippe - Redundant plugins for the shutdown of Mysqueeezebox.com already exist - No worries about the future, (tuninin bv Michael Herger, Shoutcast, Ickstream and more...) - Philippe made our system compatible to the broader outside world: Chromecast, Apple Airplay, DLNA, I have never seene such a compatibility list for any other 3rd party... - all major streaming services are available (I do not use them personally, thus a disclaimer I do not know about the quality of integretaion) - In contrast to many other streaming hardware, you have direct feedback (screens) and interaction possibilities (buttons...) - You can adapt your setup to the smallest detail. - for every problem you find answers in this community or even software, workarounds, bugfixes... I struggle to see the reason why people leave this community - nothing has changed, all is better than ever... A special thanks to Michael Herger, Philippe, Erik and all the others who contribute to this community... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ frankd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52885 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107925 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
