Buy. It's only money; you'll have your medium-term security, and nothing will prevent you from acquiring future products in the future (if and when they meet your needs). R.

I'll try not to be jealous. I didn't jump because I couldn't think where I'd actually use it, given that it was ethernet only and the Transporter fills that role, and I have a Touch as backup. Funny, though, how I nearly bought it and it's near where I live in Canada, and it eventually went to a user in Italy!

Re: [slim] How many of you have "spare" squeezeboxes?
I have 1 Touch and 1 Radio in use. Since I was thinking about buying another Radio for quite a while now, I just bought 2 more Radios of which I'll put one aside as a spare. (BTW, Amazon.de currently offers 20% discount if you buy 2 items from a selected list of Logitech products.) But I'm in doubt whether I should buy a Touch as a spare, assuming that a Touch without any stressed mechanical parts will last much longer than a Radio with its knobs. How long do you think it can last? 5 years, 10 years or even more? In addition, a post in another thread expressed what I'm also feeling: nsfw wrote: > > From my experience this is what usually happens.

Today we know that the Radios can be upgraded then, while the Touch can not. On the other side, the Touch is connected to my main HiFi, so if it really breaks one day I'll definitely need a good replacement. So I'm torn between buying or not. To Buy or not to Buy: That is the question! reinholdk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36070 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96198 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

If mysqueezebox.com died, is there any reason why my home system (Vortexbox, LMS 7.7.2, Touch) would not carry on working as it does now, using the music stored on my own system? I realise the hardware may die sometime (I have a spare Touch and LMS can run on a PC if needs be) but apart from that do I need to worry if I don't use external music sources?

Anyone who didn't upgrade their phones into a Squeezebox might be interested in the fact that *This weekend SqueezePlayer is available at a 50% discount*!!! I don't know how fast the prices update, but you should be able to get it for 1,99€ (2,49$) now. Together with Orange Squeeze this bundle makes up a great stand-alone Squeezebox on your Android device.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] SqueezePlay for Solaris and OpenIndiana
Those messages are in every recent version of squeezeplay I've used. Not connecting to the server is almost always related to squeezeplay not finding an audio device. That's why I included the logconf.lua file. If you enable INFO on audio.decode you'll be able to tell what device if any SqueezePlay has found. With the default logging there are soo many useless messages. I've always received that "Can't find the active network interface" message, it can be ignored. The intel squeezeplay will only work with OSS devices and the sparc version only looks for SADA. The attached log confirms no audio device was found as you should see messages like this if it had.

Currently Logitech doesn't make it easy to install plugins in UE Music Library and also not to install UE Smart Radio device itself, which both would be needed to make it interesting for third parties to embrace the new platform. It's still possible to install things by activating development menus and manually copying and unzipping files, but it's a lot harder compared to how it works in LMS and Squeezebox. GeeJay wrote: > > I would have to be able to control it with a full functioning remote or > iPhone app such as iPeng. > Logitech provides a native iPhone app for UE Smart Radio in comparison to the slow web based iPhone app available from Logitech for Squeezebox. I've just "upgraded" one of my Radios to be a UE Smart Radio and the speed of the remote is pretty good compared to the old one. However, the UE Smart Radio iPhone app is still in "work in progress" state, except for the speed it still doesn't feel like a native iPhone app from a user interface design perspective, but hopefully this is something Logitech is currently working on so it's ready when they start shipping the UE Smart Radio. The existing third party apps won't work, but I guess there is a chance some of the current third party developers will embrace the UE Smart Radio and make a UE Smart Radio iPhone/iPad/Android remote control, based on what I've seen from the current Logitech app I'm not too optimistic that it will be anywhere near what you get from iPeng and SqueezePad today. It doesn't even have any alphabetic bar, so if you have 1000 artists and want to reach the ones at the end you have to slide a lot on the screen, and I haven't found any support for playlists, not even viewing the current one played, but I assume this is just something they haven't implemented yet but something that will be there before they start shipping.

I would like to have a rating functionality in the control device (as
Trackstat allows in LMS while playing a song). Everything else you
mentioned seems to be feasible on DLNA-based setups with a decent
UPNP/DLNA server ("dynamic folders" as in Twonky or Asset) and some
control software available for Android or IOS platforms.
Right now, I am looking into LINN hardware for highend-rendering (to
replace my Transporter and preamp) and into a simple DLNA capable radio
to replace my Boom.
What I did not yet find in the LINN ecosystem is the rating
functionality while playing a song for any of the control applications
(besides the server based music library management applications).
