There is two misconceptions at work here . 1. Touch screen is expensive thus unecessary on a budget, it's cheap and the fact that you set up networking and diagnose directly on the device offset a lot of support cost. So even if the only time it is used is the setup it is worthwhile after that you can have project album art as screensaver which i mostly do as have an iPad . 2. BOM (bill of manufacturing ) and price are close related ,they are not, they are at the lower limit, price is about perceived market value , these thing cost about nothing to manufacture . Other cost as development support and mysb.com and LMS and shipping keep stock in warehouses etc etc is far more, all normal cost to keep a product line in stock. BOM goes dowm if you produce in great numbers thou, then you could operate at lower price levels. Remove functions and it people would not want to pay the 300$ sticker price anymore .Now it is closer to 200$ in many places If you want cheaper then one most sell on a greater scale like phones and cheap dvd players this is a risk to get this scale economy. You must really sell millions of them, then Touch could go for 50$ like a DVD player found at wallmart or similar . The great thing with Touch is that it does not feel compromised in any respect it's good enough sound-quality for almost anyone , the discerning audiophile can connect a dac of choice that's it . -- Mnyb Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.

I use my Touch as an in house portable music device. I stream music to it from my desktop PC via the Squeezebox server application. I may have the Touch setting right beside that desktop PC using some Grado headphones, or on the front/back porch. When I want to listen to my music in my 2 channel sound room, I keep a pair of 15 foot interconnect cables connected to a pre-amp input. I just use those cables and keep the Touch beside me at my listening position. -- Blazer Blazer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39545 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85129 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I have several Touch Squeezeboxes. For me it really depends which Touch I am talking about. One Touch is mounted in the wall as a Controller and source for the kitchen ceiling speakers. This Touch gets touched often. When the Touch is in the SUV, it is the only interface as well as at the Beach or Cabin. I often use a Touch as a Controller. The other Touch units just get used when I happen to be up and next to them as I have iPeng on both the better half's iPhone and mine. And as I said, I often use a Touch to control other Squeezeboxes in the house as they do make a great localized Controller also. The display is getting a bunch of face time on most of the units so the display might as well have the dual purpose as a touch input device, not just a display IMO. So what is the reasoning for the poll? Were you thinking from your use that the Touch just really only needs an LCD screen for a display without touch? As for IR remotes, I couldn't tell you the last time I used an actual Squeezebox remote. I used the Harmony 1000 about two weeks ago to start a player in that room. I have more then 10 Squeezebox remotes in a drawer that haven't been touched in well over a year. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ ceiling speakers Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85129 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

The reasoning I started this poll was to judge response and tbh see if there is a market for a player without the expense of a touch screen, I have no idea what they cost but im guessing significant based on the cost difference between radio and touch and with the radio having a built in good quality speaker. I bought it thinking I would use the touchscreen all the time because it was cool but sitting on the sofa with my tab is much cooler! I also wanted to find out if I was on my own in this situation. I kind of regret putting the 'occasionally' option in. I do use it occasionally i guess myself but posted never as i only use it for configuration once in a blue moon which would be very easy to do with ir remote. If the people voting here are occasionally using it for config and they could do these tasks with IR then we have a heavy lean to people not using the touch screen. Now I dont for one minute expect logitech to start producing a non-touch touch (i'm sure you understand me...) becasue of the costs involved in rd and confusion in the product set. Its also good to understand the use-cases for when people solely use the touch screen IE bathroom or car. I think its perfect for the bathroom (weather permitting) coupled with ceiling speakers and also for the kitchen although i do like the shortcut buttons on the radio allowing me to choose a favourite quickly and easily. I would certainly miss those shortcut buttons on the touch if i had it in my kitchen although i know there is a gestures section in the beta mode so maybe you could program your own gestures as shortcuts. ie just swype a number. and you will see from my sig that my bathroom is crying out for a touch, but just got no way to mount it nicely!! -- trouty00 My Squeezebox setup (inc photos) http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=604471postcount=1104 trouty00's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30875 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85129 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

It has much more powerfull cpu than radio and a very good dac and digital out. The 24bit 96kHz capacity is also nice :) not many streaming device from anyone ? has this especially at this price ? So sound vise it's well worth the money . I think that's the more powerfull CPU is mostly for running it's local squeezboxserver if you attach a harddrive to it . That must contribute some. Radios price point is low considering that it's probably the same screen and a little more cpu than the controller and it is cheaper than the controller. But pricing is also tied to what kind of custommer you expect for a product. Radio is not the cheapest product in it's market niche so it can not be more expensive than it is. So it is radio that is cheap, it competes where there is many products and people expect them to be cheap. A Touch buyer is maybe not as price sensitive as Radio buyer. And manufacturing cost are very cheap today (made in china), probably not as significant for the end price as many believes it's peanuts basically. All other cost associated around developing marketing and selling and distribute the product is probably a lot more than bom (bill of manufacturing ) price from the factory when you order pallet loads off them. Setting a price is most down to guess how usefull the byer thinks it is for that price. If you have a product that customer find very usefull and good and worth having you can charge more , again not much to do with parts costs. I seriusly wonder if it cost more or less than 10% off it's price to manufacture it. -- Mnyb Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe' Primare and Dynadio speakers, Contour 4 Contour Center, and Contour 1.3SE rear ch.

I do occasionally, mine is set up right next to my listening spot and sometimes it's just easier to use the touchscreen to scroll faster or to type in a search. I use the IR so that I don't have to do a lot of reaching or twisting, since I don't have an iTouch/iPhone. I did think that I'd use the touchscreen a little more when I first got it, but for most things I like the IR remote. And since it's my first Squeeze product, it has totally changed my music listening and I think it's the best component I've purchased in a long, long time.
