Though others have said this in a bit of a beat-around-the-bush way, one big attraction for me is the Squeezebox system makes it very easy to run multiple stereo systems off of one music source. Add a player to the network and that's that.
I also find the sound is excellent and easily upgradeable if one wants to improve on the stock units I've had to date. I know playlist creation isn't quite as easy on the Squeezeboxserver as some other programs, but I can count the number of playlists I've created over the past 7 or 8 years of using a computer for music playback on one hand. When I sit down for serious listening I've only decided what I want to listen to at that moment. Yesterday's, last week's or last month's music choices aren't very relevant to me. I realize some people put together extensive playlists for parties and the like, but that's not particularly useful to me. So it is meaningless to me that some other programs make playlist creation easier. It'd be interesting to do a survey to map out users on a scale that runs from serious playlist creators to casual users to those like me who rarely use them. -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76721 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
