[slim] Original SLIMP3 vs. newer Squeezeboxes?

2013-05-22 Thread cgallery
My original SLIMP3 doesn't have wireless (which would be nice). It also only plays MP3 files natively. One of the things that would be nice is if it has a slightly larger buffer. If I use it to play over a VPN (where the server is at home and I take the unit to the office), sometimes I get drop

Running the current squeezebox software version I have had no tech support issues (knock on wood!!). Things appear to be stable at this point. My wife and kids even haven't had any trouble. What concerns me is I currently subscribe to Rhapsody and my daughter uses slacker a lot. If those ser

Completely agree: 1. refund original purchase price 2. offer a UE Radio replacement and refund of price difference between Radio and Touch * assuming either 1 & 2 applies by retailer 8 months after the original purchase Where I don't agree: 3. no contract, retailer made offer to replace it
