Re: [slim] Do people still buy digital music? New business idea; would love feedback
I think your sub-set of potential customers will be so small it will not be sustainable. One (specialized) music genre, attract those that want to "buy" (not subscribe), purchases would be infrequent. I also think you have no idea how much time and money it will take to market the service, attract and maintain relationships with numerous record labels, maintain licensing agreements, server issues and maintenance, etc I just use existing services, pick a genre, then select the "mix" menu item (which then randomly plays artists/bands within that genre). IMO, it's not that your idea is bad, rather that not all good ideas are a business. :) toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102931 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Players to replace the Squeezeboxes? Scared after a storm took out my devices
Just to add to this thread, I was wondering what the thoughts were in terms of sound quality between an android TV box with digital outs vs rasperry pi + DAC +PiCoreplayer? >From my analysis: Raberry Pi B+ $40 HiFi berry Case USD $23 + HiFi Digi+ USD $37 + shipping: $100 dollars A basic android box with optical out on USA amazon runs about $90 to 100. I have AV receivers in each room where I would want the music, hooked up to TVs, so I think the level of pain would be the same. If I am correct, and I use optical outs, the receiver is responsible for the decoding, not the device itself? sksahai's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32434 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102861 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squeezebox 2015 - Is the Squeezebox Universe Expanding of Shrinking?
I'm thinking that it's not completely out of the picture that Logitech is considering reintroducing the Squeezebox line again? I mean every company and their mother come out with streaming solutions - why not be a part of that again?

Re: [slim] Do people still buy digital music? New business idea; would love feedback
I looked through (I think) the whole site, and didn't see any lists of bands/albums/tracks or any way to purchase/pay for anything. Is it just a plan, at this point, but not yet up-and-running?

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Squeezeslave: 1.2 released
