I'll second Jim's thanks and add that in my home I have four SB3's two
SB2's and two SB radios.  I recently shifted SBS from my WHS machine to
a 17w self-built VortexBox appliance.  Our system is controlled by our
Android phones via Squeeze Commander, by iPeng on iPod Touches and we
do also use the old fashioned SB2/3 IR remotes.  I've installed
Squeezeboxes into a handfull of friends homes and they are very happy
as well.  

Where there is still work to be done is that the product is quite a bit
harder than Sonos for a non-techie to install and enjoy.  I believe
Logitech recognizes this and hope they are dedicating resources to
improve the platform.  Personally, I love the ability to customize and
do all sorts of cool stuff that is not possible on a Sonos, but the
everage user wants to plug it in and have it just work.  I hope for the
sake of continued success for the product line that Logitech is able to
broaden the user base while simultaneously keeping the techie user base
satisfied.

Doug

[slim] Just to say......thanks!

2011-03-03 Thread jimwillsher

Hi all,

I'm a long term SB suppporter. I've had various SB1s, now onto SB3s and
Booms. In all that time I've run SqueezeCenter on Linux.

We have no radios in the house, no CD players, no tape players. We have
a mixture of SB3, one Boom, and one Linux server running SqueezeCenter.

We can't afford a Transporter :-(

We listen to FLACs and Radio Scotland (thank you, BBC iPlayer Plugin)
for around 9 hours per day. Every day.

I've had my complaints in the past, and I had my fears when Logitech
got involved (I've lost count how many times I've had to return
keyboards and mice under warranty).

But my current setup is flawless. It works. I can set up a 200 track
playlist and know that it will play. I can listen to the radio for 12
hours and it works.

Thank you. To all the people involved in SqueezeCentre, the software,
the continued support for Linux and Ubuntu, the plugins, people like
BPA and Triode, others.

Easily the best gadget we have in our house.and we have a LOT of
gadgets ;-)



Jim

PS This didn't mean to sound like an Oscar speech. But I am genuinely
very grateful for such a wonderful source of music.
