Re: [slim] Squeezebox vs. AirTunes Setup

Thanks for the advice ... I'm still stuck but leaning towards the apple
setup ... all the apps for an iPod touch are a tad appealing

[slim] Squeezebox vs. AirTunes Setup

2009-01-21 Thread jm6

I am looking at setting up a home audio network and wondering what the
advantages / disadvantages of an AirTunes based network (Airport
Express, iTunes, iPod Touch with Remote, Airfoil to stream Pandora) vs.
Squeezebox.

The AirTunes network seems to be lower cost overall and has the
advantage of the iPod Touch apps, portability and wifi for internet
access (E-mail, etc).  But it seems a bit cumbersome since you need a
workaround for Pandora, you can't stream different songs to different
airport expresses, you can't listen to tunes without having your PC on
and I'm worried about the clunkyness of using the remote app on the
iPod touch to go back to my PC to change tunes.

Appreciate any advice or key points I missed.
