Re: [slim] Bad experience with a Touch dealer
I would say in the European Union, that retailer should refund the money for the defective Touch.

Re: [slim] Now the Squeezebox is dead, what would your next system be? And why?
What would be my choice if all my Squeezebox would fail some day, likely when MySqueezebox.com dies or when SqueezeCenter software will not run on my server any longer? I am thinking of putting a decent USB DAC straight into my NAS port (hopefully supported by software) For instance the AudioQuest DragonFly DAC plugged into my Synology NAS would be acceptable. The only 'challenge' is to have a proper analog audio connection from the NAS location in the home powercabinet towards the (pre)amplifiers on the other end of the living room. Getting used to Synology's Audio Station and it poorer tag support is a challenge too! For kitchen and bedroom, any cheapo DLNA internet radio will have to do [image: http://www.stereophile.com/images/1012dragon.2.jpg] Sakkerju's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37149 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96191 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] The Future of Squeezebox Product Line-Up
A poll associated with this post was created, to vote and see the results, please visit http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96660 Question: Would you buy a new Squeezebox player if it became available? - Yes , if less than $100 - Yes, if less than $200 - Yes, if less than $500 - Yes, if less than $1000 - Yes - price is no object; I just want the best sound - No - I would NOT buy another Squeezebox player The best thing for me is the versatility of the whole system with a singe 'jukebox' source and internet radio access. I have a Touch with a (Duet) Controller as remote in the livingroom hooked up to my Denon amp and Kef speakers. This is for casual/relaxing mood lisening. I have a Radio in the kitchen, for music while busy in the kitchen. It is in sync with the living room. Most of the time just playing internet radio (Radio Paradise) Second Radio is in the bedroom, basically serving as a clock with alarm function. Recently I bought 'spare' Touch and Controller. These are now in use together with my Little Dot MkIII headphone amp as a semi-portable music system. It basically plays my 24bit/96KHz files for more serious, undisturbed listening. I also use the remote app on my Andriod phone and Squeezeplay on the Wintel laptop. What system can serve me like that?24/96 DAC, shared remote, sync systems, share favourites, music, playlists etc. Haveing apps and custom plug-ins is nice, but not THE factor for me.

Re: [slim] Pandora via BlackVPN in Europe
I presume the SB Server is actualy streaming the Pandora stream toward the Classic (or Touch etc.)...so the PC running SBS would be the actual Pandora client (?) In that case, having the SBS run on an ordinary PC it is simple to install the tunnel software there. Using that, the European based PC is cloaked with an US ip adress Had a similar question for my WD TV Live that can play Pandora, but sees my European IP from my provider.

Re: [slim] Where are your CDs?
All my popular music CD's are ripped to .FLAC with EAC Exact Audio Copy, no MP3. CD's are all stored in a cardboard box on the attic. My classical music CD's are still played with my CD player. I have no classical music ripped...
