Let's see one thing very clear when it comes to fancy features like
smarter playlists, on-the-fly transcoding to fancy formats and sample
rates and especially complex library management: there is NOTHING else
on the market for streaming clients that even comes close to the
Squeezebox in this

No, I am not happy.
I want to see MAJOR release every year, and service packs every

I do not want to see basic feature set for 5 years.

OK, tell me about the library management and playlist management
features Olive or Sooloos have.

pippin,
you're have a commercial product you sell so the current state of things
is comfortable for you.
iPeng is a nice application (when I tried it), although I work with
Android devices.
I paid Logitech so far around 3000$ for Transporter, Squeezebox 3 and

Again: The Squeezebox is not a PC software. Tell me about devices which
support all that AND have a decent UI. At the same time, not either or.
I don't say the Squeezebox is perfect, it's far from that. I just STILL
don't see anything better on the market. At no price point.
Not recently, but I previously investigated Olive and it was very
limited as compared with Squeezebox, although much more expensive. And
to Pippin's point, I've seen nothing that comes close to the

me) combined with audio

Not PC software (I would count iTunes since you can stream from there to

DLNA doesn't have the microsecond timing required to do synching. If
the SBs are synced (via LMS/SBS), sync works as expected.

Are you saying that if one syncs the players first from LMS, then starts
JRMC later and plays someting via DLNA, the players stay synched? I'm
guessing

I appear to be mistaken about syncing. I was certain this worked, but
seems it does not.
