Dear Squeezebox, still love you

[socistep]

Great thread, I agree completely. Will raed the rest later

Like an earlier poster, I spend little enough time on my setup now (plugins, tags, backups), but it's still working. Problems I encounter are due to my network (I think). My SB3 was a birthday present a number of years back; I picked up a Radio (great sound!) after moving a couple of years ago. Still want to improve my setup (separate libraries - actually a number of Erlend's plugins - musicip, better tags and cover art), hopefully my visit today will spur me on to do something.

If Logitech did decide to stop SqueezeBoxen, I would definitely try to bag some stock for the future. Haha, just remember a conversation a few weeks ago with someone whi is doing his best to use DLNA for all audio and video - I do not want to have to do that

(Radio and SB3 are regularly synched to play the same music).

Its the same for me, occasional tagging when my vortexbox doesnt get it 100% right but generally server is rock steady and ripping automated

sorry to hear that news, in all respects.

maybe some kind soul will offer you a SB# at a discount?

Things are tough right now but who knows. Maybe sometime I'll be able to afford a touch if they still offer them.

I can't live without my SB's either, nor my family, we all depend on them playing the music we like. Without hassle from cd's getting lost or damaged.

I really would like to see a new Boom.

I really would like to see a new Boom.

Yes, I LOVE the Squeezes also!

We definitely need an updated BOOM! Without any new LOGITECH Squeeze devices makes me very skeptical about how Logitech views the future of all the Squeezebox products. I would think that some innovative new product should be announced before the Chistmas season.

I wrote a bug report (see signature below and sign on if you'd like) on just this issue.

I discovered Squeezebox back in 2008 after a few years of disinterest in music. One thing lead to another and then another....and so on. Without SB I would have never discovered recorded music as a serious hobby (gear, vintage CDs, etc). I do wish that SlimDevices was around today. It would be interesting to see how the products would have evolved. "Computer" oriented front ends are now accepted in the hi-end community and the future for even 16/44 has never been better.

Although I only own one I have progressed through from original squeezebox, Boom, Duet and now touch. Well they just work and for me music is not something I play constantly, however the squeezebox is always there when I need it. Just like a loved one.
