New Logitech Squeezebox Touch

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.

Mapman, I have my music library stored in FLAC on a Vortexbox Appliance, which comes pre-configured to work with Sonos or Logitech Media server. I presume the SBT and Sonos devices could work side by side, although I have not tried them together. Sonos does not require a oomputer to work. A Sonos bridge device is connected to my router and I have the Sonos controller software installed on an Android tablet. Each Sonos device is automatically detected on first start up and no additional setup or maintenance is required. There is a Sonos forum that can answer questions with more specificity. Trust me, Sonos is much more intuitive than SBT.

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.
