Greetings! Let me introduce myself: I've been a user of the SlimServer software for several years, loving it so much that I built a computer just to house my music library and SlimServer installation, researching and learning open-source operating system s (I chose FreeBSD) to do so. However, I've never been able to afford a Squeezebox. I use the software every day (in conjunction with the MusicMagicMixer after ripping my CDs with EAC and tagging them with the MusicBrainz tagger), streaming music from my home to my desktop at work. At home I have softsqueeze installed on the family laptops and they use it. So, while I absolutely hope you can continue to maintain and even improve the audiophile aspects of the current Slim Devices products, I've always hoped that there would be a low-cost alternative so that it could be more easily adopted by more typical, non-audiophile consumers (of course while still sounding great). I guess I just want you to hear from a customer who has been waiting in the wings for a lower cost product. I'm willing to sacrifice features of the current device so I can more readily get networked audio into multiple rooms of my house. Personally, I would sacrifice the built-in display and the digital outs. For display, just give me an S-Video, or even composite video, and I'll hook it into my existing home theater. Again, don't take the display and the high-end D/A converters away from the people that want them! Just hit me with a $100 product without them. :) In the meantime, I'm a very delighted SlimServer user. -- thing-fish [image: http://imagegen.last.fm/3line/recenttracks/thing-fish.gif] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ thing-fish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5288 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28821 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
