New Logitech Squeezebox Touch


I see the Logitech Squeezebox Touch being discounted... is there a new one coming?

No replacement I have heard of yet.

Apparently, being discontinued has been good for touch's value.

I still have 2 currently unused Roku Soundbridges. These can connect to Logitech and Windows Media server as well and sound similarly good via the same external DAC. I wonder what these are worth now?
CRuz,

Thanks.

I'm hoping when the time comes, my current .wav library would work as it does with SB without much additional work, but I guess I will not know for sure until the time comes.

Not having to use a computer would be a nice enhancement. Currently, I use a laptop with two external 2Tb USB drives (one main, one backup) as a source. Everything works great! I will likely keep my current two SB Touches and Sb radio as long as possible at least until something breaks.

The SSB TOuch screen is nice but not essential for me. I use PCs, Android tablets, and even a Windows Mobile handheld device as controllers mostly.
Cruz,

Did you encounter any issues using a music library with Sonos after SB? Like any lost metadata or album art?

I'm using mostly .wav files which might make a difference versus say FLAC.

I hope to keep my SB stuff for as long as it continues to work. Seems like Sonos would be the likely place to look for me at present were I to add or have to replace devices.

I would guess that Sonos devices could run alongside existing SB devices and server without a problem?

I really like the SB crossfade feature. Does Sonos do that?

Also I am wondering if Sonos requires a software media server similar to Logitech MEdia Server to be running or does each device detect and access music libraries directly?

Thanks.
