Sorry, but Bluetooth is NOT a lossy transport medium.

Bluetooth Audio is. Very lossy, actually, much worse than mp3

[slim] UE Boombox

2012-11-04 Thread chenrikson

I hadn't seen reference to this here -- and it may not belong here --
but BB is advertising the UE Boombox (a bluetooth wireless speaker/amp)
to stream music from smartphone or tablet.  Can this work with LMS?  Is
there a software app for it?  BTW, the cost is $250 -- looks to be
getting into Sonos territory?? Can we use something like iPeng to feed
this device?

While the device is naff all to do with Squeezebox in theory any blue
tooth speaker could work with a device that can play from LMS and has BT
audio.
iThings can get play with an additional purchase in app using ipeng and
Android users can purchase squeezeplay from the market and use any
available control app (OrangeSqueeze and Squeeze Commander being my
favourites) 

I can't vouch for audio quality with Bluetooth mind but for a boom box
type device it should be acceptable I guess.
