[slim] Re: Buy a Squeezebox now or wait?
I haven't bothered to read most of the bitchfest that the Logitech announcement thread has become, and this threatens to become. Slim != Logitech , so stop posting your mouse,keyboard, remote horror stories here. The question that was asked, was should you purchase now or hold off following the Logitech acquisition. The way I see it, nothing has happened in the last week that would change my decision to purchase. If the SB3/Transporter fitted my needs last week, then they still fit my needs this week and sound, as good, if not better. FW67 was posted after the announcement last week making further improvements to a great product. I can only see it getting better. The way to screw things up is to hold up sales. Then you'll have started a self fulfilling prophecy. So buy now, enjoy your music, and forget about who owns the company and what might happen. It's pointless speculation. -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28952 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

IMHO the Slim Devices logo/branding look much better than Logitech's. At least half of the appeal of the Squeezebox for a lot of people is in its visual aspects, again my opinion only.

It's very cool - go to volume and you have a smooth range with hard stops at each end. Go back to the main menu and you have hard stops at the beginning and end of the menu with detents on each item. Go to an area with only one item in the list and the knob is locked. After the knob reconfigures itself in that way, you'll hear the sound about 30 seconds after you leave it.

Well, for what it's worth, I'm a relatively new SB3 owner, going on about 3 months. Love it. So much so that I'm in the process of re-ripping my entire 800+ disc collection to ALAC and then the CDs go into deep storage. Based on my experiences with the SB3 (and having read all 30+ pages of the Logitech Thread), I pulled the trigger on a Transporter today. I think it will be a nice addition to my system and I'm eagerly anticipating its arrival, if not the impact to my wallet. Eek. I'm looking around for things to Ebay now to offset the cost. I've got mixed feelings about the Logitech acquisition. I liked the small company feel that I was getting from Slim Devices, and I like supporting small companies, and that was part of my initial decision to get an SB3. But now that I have that SB3 (and soon a Transporter) I guess I'm more interested in how well the products work. I'd still *prefer* the small company feel, but it's not a showstopper for me. I see potential for both good and bad. I'm hoping that the quality of the hardware and the attention to detail remain, and that the (presumably) increased resources that can be brought to bear will benefit everyone. I'm not concerned that Logitech bought Slim to shelve them. Slim has several strong products that give Logitech a big leg up in the market and it'd be poor business to kill those products. But I also figure that worst case, I end up with the hardware I have now, and the software I have now, and both work well now. It's not like the product will just quit working if Logitech decides to shelve further production/development. The server software is open source and written in perl, so even absent corporate support and development, the software can continue to be developed and improved. Even by me with my heinous perl skills. I guess what I'm saying is that if you like what the hardware/software can do right now, get it now. If you're not sure it's a good fit for you, maybe take advantage of the 30 day guarantee and give it a shot. If you're concerned that Logitech will orphan the product or screw it up in some way and you're concerned about long term support, maybe wait for things to shake out.

What are people using for compact players with the Squeezebox? I have heard of people using setups as inexpensive as a set of powered set of PC speakers connected to the headphone jack on up to high-dollar audiophile mini systems. It all depends on how good you want your sound to be in the kitchen ... keeping in mind that kitchens don't typically make the most ideal listening environment with lots of hard surfaces, ambient noise, things that rattle, etc... Personally, I think a quality set of powered speakers would do you just fine if you don't also need the ability to play CD's or other packaged media or tune into over the air broadcasts. -- jeffluckett jeffluckett's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28952 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I own 3 SB2s and 1 SB3, and would really love to buy a Transporter. I would have no qualms about purchasing any of them. The dilemma is more subtle than this. I am *very* interested in buying a Transporter. The hardware as it stands now seems to meet my needs. But I need to know that the firmware update Sean promised (back when it was still his company), to add the digital FX loop and fix the vibrating knob even though you've only used the remote bug, is still going to happen. The danger of buying a Transporter now is that Logitech might quickly decide it's not in their product future and cease all development work - and hence no firmware update. So the answer seems clear: wait to buy a Transporter until I've seen the firmware update in the field. But by that time, it's possible that the Logitech bean-counters have forced some cost-reductions through and the hardware design has been compromised. There again, it's also possible that some changes to the Transporter might actually be an improvement. (One cost reduction I'd be happy about would be the removal of the knob altogether - it may be cool, but I can't see myself using it).

There is no question, that Logitech will have worse support than SD customers are probably used to. I'm not trying to bash Logitech here. I have a whole slew of Logitech products, including four different sets of computer speakers and numerous mice (in addition to the two Harmony remotes). In fact, I'm listening to one of my squeezeboxes right now on a set of Logitech speakers and using my Harmony to control it! They usually make pretty good stuff, but it can be frustrating. I won't touch their newer computer speakers, and getting all the mouse buttons to work in computer games usually requires manually editting the Windows registry.

I don't think Logitech cares about what is a niche market and what is not: they seem to like to have a wide range of products and get people at every price/feature mark. The people satisfied with throwing away $10 mice when the break (me, though I will admit it is very rare that I can't fix one by cleaning it), and the people that spend $100 on a mouse The people that want a plain old Universal Remote, or the people that want a programmable remote with custom keys and LCD display.
