Re: [slim] Squeezebox Hardware Support
Shortly after starting this thread I began to watch the price of the Touch at Amazon. For a day or two Amazon and two other merchants had it for $240 with free shipping. Then the price went up at all three to $250. Yesterday I noticed the other two merchants aren't on the list anymore. This morning, I bought one. Feels like an expensive insurance policy. :-) I'll still be keeping an eye on the alternatives. Thanks to everyone for their input. bertdw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29327 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96381 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

No, I'm not sure, that's why I asked the question, to explore my options. There is no competing product I've seen that does what the Squeezebox does for anywhere near the price. erland wrote: Finally, if the worst thing happens, you can always get a iOS/Android device and a suitable docking station and use one of the third party Squeezebox player apps available, for example iPeng on iOS or SqueezePlayer on Android. Can I stream from my server with this setup? I've never seen a 2TB iOS/Android device. bertdw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29327 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96381 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Squeezebox Hardware Support
Now that the Squeezebox line is gone, and its replacement doesn't even have a digital output, I'm in semi-panic mode. What happens if my three year old Duet dies? Can it be repaired? By Logitech? If I buy a Touch as a backup, can that be repaired? bertdw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29327 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96381 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squeezebox Hardware Support
Thanks for your quick reply. So you think the Touch is more reliable than the Duet? Mine has never given me any trouble. At first I thought at least I'd have a new warranty with a new Touch, but if they only gave me a coupon for something else, forget it! bertdw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29327 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96381 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
