Hello out there!
About to go down the route of properly digitising my CD collection and having wireless sounds around the house (instead of just dipping toes with a few CDs ripped on/via iTunes on laptop).
Thinking of a Vortexbox Appliance to rip and store FLAC files (keep flipping between that and a Cocktail X10), and from reading various forums, reviews, etc, was about to go down the Logitech Squeezebox Radio (for portable sounds and internet radio) and Touch (for connecting to my Denon 3805 AV amp). Only to find that Logitech have, erm, changed strategy...
Can't really see any Logitech Squeezebox Touch on general release anymore: but as i'm at an early stage, I can wait and research some more before connecting my main kit to whatever I rip/store my CDs to.
I see they'e replaced the Squeezebox Radio with "UE Smart Radio" and it appears to be similar, but as I'm not on the wagon as yet don't really know what the differences are. I can still find some of the Squeezebox on sale (new) as well as the UE Smart radio replacement - which is the better buy (going forward) and why? esp as the older Squeezebox Radio is actually more expensive (before you add the portable battery price!)
Thanks in anticipation!
