I consider the Squeezebox to be immensely successful product. It brings network-based music server concept into the mass consumer market. Its adoption of FLAC lossless compression gains acceptance by the audiophile market. The competition is not sitting idle. Olive (http://www.olive.us) has come up with similar product plus additional useful features at very competitive price. The built-in hard disk even though small in storage capacity is no doubt useful. I find having a small collection of favorite music in local hard disk useful because I do not have to keep my SlimServer running all the time. Some other features are quite neat too.
I hope Slim Devices are keeping tab of the competition and respond with better products. Not that the Squeezebox is bad. But there are competitions out there constantly trying to out do the Squeezebox. Keeping up is the only way to survive. -- kbelinski ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kbelinski's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1039 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34696 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
