Also, I can control both the volume and ffw (Squidgy only allows me to change the volume, and does not give me a feedback on the volume changing, numerical and auditory, which IPeng does. What Squidgy does and (to my knowledge) IPeng does not, is give me an intuitive control of playlists (playing a song now or adding it to a playlist for later, which I can then reorder in real time): is this a feature that is either implemented (and I have not found out yet) or which will be implemented in future?

It works okay, but you must be fairly computer geeky to understand what is going on. Slim Server looks just plain ugly. Slim Server, as it sits now, would be a call-line, tech-help mess for Logitech. If they are smart, they will do a major interface fix on Slim Server before they try to mass market their devices to the Best Buy crowd. This will, of course, not set well with the current, geekified enthusiasts. However, remember this. You are not Logitech's market. You already own one. Let me add, that I too can be a geek. I like being a geek when I want to be a geek. I don't like being a geek when incomplete software forces me to. I do agree with you, and, as far as I am concerned the aquisition of Slimdevices by Logitech will bear good fruit. What I find unreasonable from a marketing point of view, is that they should kill off the Slimdevices brand, rather than invest on it as a high quality subdivision, nothing more.

Re: [slim] Transporter broken?
I waited for three weeks to get my transporter back from the retailer ripcaster.co.uk - Bear in mind it was my original one repaired. I got it back yesterday, and funnily enough two hours after setting it up again it died again. The screen suddenly went black and no sign of life. Is there a quality problem with the Transporter hardware? I can understand once, but twice is simply not acceptable for a piece of kit costing £1300! I will let you know more as I learn more.

Ya, harsh, incredibly irritating. I will. This post does not want to be a criticism of ripcaster.co.uk, who were swift in apologizing, offering a refund and taking it back for repairs instead when I asked them to. I just wanted to give that Transporter another chance... Does anyone know whether there has been any technical revision to the Transporter? The idea is now to get a refund, and order a new one (I like it THAT much) - On the other hand I would like to get some assurance, that any quality problem, if present, has been/is being dealt with before I order a new one.

Bear in mind, that I have a Logitech Mouse and Keyboard. And these work fine, mighty fine, but... Logitech branded Squeezeboxes? YUCK! Logitech branded Transporters? YUCK!

Re: [slim] Where will the Squeezebox be assembled in the future?
I must have touched an ideological nerve... hehehe Still, I think a Logitech Transporter simply does not make sense. Maybe a Squeezebox, but certainly not a Transporter.

Re: [slim] Where will the Squeezebox be assembled in the future?
the thread will not degenerate! I have used Logitech peripherals for a long time, and some of them are quite appealing (The latest MX revolution mouse is quite a good product). I second what you say about the new plexiglass bluetooth keyboard. Some of my comments were (willingly) cast with the aim of provoking some reaction (and they did!). It may well be that the Transporter has a future among some of the more sophisticated products that Logitech has been developing of late (MX revolution mouse, super keyboard etc) most of which are priced accordingly. I just have the feeling that a complete rebrand would not be in line with the image of Slimdevices (at least as far as I perceive it - there maybe margins for debate here!). Somehow I resisted buying any of the other offerings (Roku, Sonos etc) because a) the company is run by maniacal audiophiles with an understanding and love of high end kit; b) a large portion of the community consists of very helpful and equally maniacal users, many of which possess a strong inclination towards understanding and modifying the products (both hardware and software); c) the products (initially SB3 and now a Transporter as far as I am concerned) are actually quite spectacular. I dread an excess of product homogenisation, which may (but then again might not!) strip this remarkable community of its quirkyness and originality, by sinking Slimdevices into the vast sea of Logitech products. As I said above, Fiat may own Ferrari, but Ferrari-engined Fiats (they have existed) were never very successful...

Re: [slim] Where will the Squeezebox be assembled in the future?
that a lot will have to do not with black or white, but with degrees of grey. Not whether, but to what degree...Could very well be that Logitech will leverage part of the image of Slimdevices for its own return, that is as a further example that Logitech is going upstream and introducing very high level products. The issue is that Slimdevices matters to those who use it, but is per se not a very known brand, and thus quite easy to shape into something different. I hope we will witness a slow absorbtion a la Harmony.

Re: [slim] Italian owners?
Bobore, Secondo me, per apprezzare veramente il Transporter dovresti avere una collezione di musica in formato lossless, che sia Flac o altro. (inoltre vedi sotto). Per quanto mi riguarda, ho ceduto alla tentazione, pur avendo solamente una collezione di mp3 di qualita' alta (192kbps VBR e CBR), ma non lossless, ho comperato il Transporter. La qualita' di un impianto passa sicuramente da amplificatore e casse. Nonostante cio' (la faccio passare attraverso un Bose Lifestyle, buono, ma non direi super-high-end), dopo aver usato una Squeezebox per un annetto (con grande gioia: insisto nel dire che suoni molto meglio di Sonos e simili - pur costando la meta'), ho notato una notevole differenza al primo ascolto del Transporter: la musica e' ancora meglio distribuita, le fonti sonore ancora meglio definite. Rimane poi il nodo dello stoccaggio della musica, visto che ancora oggi non esiste un NAS/server casalingo che sia simultaneamente sufficientemente potente e silenzioso da poter gestire Slimserver, dalla versione 6.5 in su, nel proprio salotto. Detto questo, aver messo tutta la mia musica su digitale mi ha fatto riscoprire cose che non ascoltavo da tempo, forse per pigrizia, e fatto scoprire molti generi nuovi (elettronica, industriale - vedi alla voce Eraldo Bernocchi per esempio). Di fatto ha fatto rinascere in me la curiosita' per la musica. Confesso di aver avuto dei problemi di natura elettrica con il Transporter: mi e' stato detto che sono dovuti a componentistica dell'alimentazione difettosa. Sto ora aspettando il nuovo Transporter e vi sapro' dire se si ripresentano. Per questo forse aspetta un attimo prima di buttarti su un Transporter. In ogni caso, credo che la distribuzione di prodotti Slimdevices migliorera' significativamente nei prossimi mesi. (cosi' dicono i distributori qui, ma vai a sapere...)

[slim] Re: Transporter broken?
My transporter died this morning. It was merrily playing along, when it suddenly became unresponsive (a little like when the SB3 loses contact with the network). It went all dark, and does not respond to any input, be it via remote or via the main panel. It nevertheless does not seem to be completely dead: When connected to the mains, it will emit a repeated click at regular intervals (of about 10 seconds). When connected to the mains and the amplifier (in my case a BOSE lifestyle system) the repeated click manifests itself as a loudish repeated boom through the speakers. No idea what happened, seems like it is trying to connect but cannot. Does anyone have ideas as to what might have happened?

recoveryone: the failure manifested itself as follows: _the display initially froze, whilst music output ceased. _shortly thereafter (5-10 seconds later), the display went dark. _I shut the amplifier off, then disconnected the analog inputs from the Transporter. _I then proceeded to disconnect the Transporter from the mains. _Upon reconnection of the Transporter to the mains, the display (Slimdevices - Welcome to Transporter) would not appear. The Transporterwi will only emit a sequence of two clicks every 10 seconds or thereabouts. _If I reconnect the Transporter to my amplifier (Bose Lifestyle system), the clicks are fed to the speakers as loudish booms (for want of a better word). _The Transporter is not recognized on the network (via DHCP), and does not appear on the Slimserver web interface. _Just to be sure, I reconnected my old Squeezebox 3 to the network, which immediately finds the Slimserver and music storage.
