No matter what design choices are made, someone will be unhappy. It's too big, it's too small, my wife won't let me buy it unless matches our bedroom which is pink. It is what it is, accept it or move on. -- ghostrider

[SlimDevices: Touch] Napster Cover Art

2009-09-15 Thread malterathke
Hi everybody, I hope I didn't miss that thread (but as usually, it's likely I did). Will the Touch display Napster cover art? I mean scrolling through Napster album lists / libraries with the covers displayed would be neat - I don't know if the Duet displays cover arts other then the ones on

Great, thanks. Btw, it's not important, but are the remotes interchangeable? I have a Boom and would love to use i.e. the remote from the Touch because of the nifty 0-9 keys and the faster way to enter artist names and such. Greetings, Malte -- malterathke

The styles of VU meters they could render really opens up with the color screen. It could be the old traditional style of a white background, black lettering and red for 0+. Or it could be lit in a nice amber color, etc. ... the options are endless! ;-) -- USAudio

[SlimDevices: Touch] Squeezbox Touch - Logitech Z-5 Speakers Compatibility

2009-09-15 Thread tonyme
I just pre-ordered a Squeezebox Touch and now I'm shopping for a nice set of desktop speakers to go with it. I'm interested in the Logitech Z-5's but uncertain if they are compatible with the Touch because they are USB powered and designed to run as a USB audio device. Does anyone know for sure
