Wait! This thing is out of production, and now without Logitech (the maufacturer) support, has gone from $300.00 new to $800.00 new? Really?

People are realizing that there is nothing on the market under $1000 that can do what the squeezebox touch can do in terms of flexibility, ease of use, and sound quality. The SqueezePad app for the iPad is a wonderful way to control your squeezebox.

I own the SBT. I like it but I paid the original cost. This price is outrageous. I would consider a Grace Digital product if I wanted something to work without fuss.Otherwise, I would buy an Asus Chromebox (http://www.amazon.com/Asus-CHROMEBOX-M004U-ASUS-Desktop/dp/B00IT1WJZQ), install Linux or Crouton, and run SlimServer or mpd.

I will NEVER forgive Logitech for buying up this wonderful little technology treasure only to turn around and kill it for everyone.

Yeah, I agree with you. For my use I'd not buy a Touch now even at $150 as a discontinued product. Luckily I payed only about $200 and have had years of great use of it, with years more coming. My guess is that many of those buying them now at outrageous prices are doing so as backups to their existing Touch's as there really is nothing else out there in form, function, features, sound quality even at those inflated prices. Many have compared the Touch's DAC alone to standalone DAC's costing $900.

You can buy a $45 Rasperry PI a soundcard and the Squeezeplay software and achieve the same result. There are numerous online websites that show how to do this. Equally you can put the Squeezeplay client on anything that runs Windows XP or Windows 7. The advantage this had was it had its own display a decent Digital Audio chip and a touch screen.

Yes, they went up in price because there wasn't anything comparable available (and still isn't for the whole Squeezebox ecosystem). However the built your own department has been busy with the result of using an raspberry pi 2, touch screen (recently released by Raspberry Foundation), Hifiberry DAC and Squeezelite (e.g. PiCorePlayer) an Squeezebox Touch replacement can be built.For that reason I'd expect the prices to come down a bit again (not the the original price however).

Yeap, cause it is worth the price even at $800 !!! there is nothing on the market that give you the sound and ease of use, in such a small unit for any price range. When you use flac files and some good [CAT7] network cables, it gives sound close to my CD player !! I also agree, that I will not forgive Logitech for killing this product.

I had read on a blog post at logitech that there was a slight hardware change also but maybe not. I ended up buying what was called the quickcam pro at the logitech site because they had a 1/2 off dented box sale. The box wasn't even dented just a little dusty. Thanks for the responses.

given that I have both old and new versions of this mouse (yes the cosmetics differ very slightly, but operationally they seem to perform equally well - at least they have for me) they both come with warranties. of course in the highly unlikely event that it gets sent in for service you may receive a new or reconditioned mouse in return and I'm guessing you'll get whatever is on hand at Logitech, be it new or old style. It isn't like this is 20 year old "new-old-stock" - it s a current model.

I know what you mean. This is the best mouse I've ever used, and I can't believe how expensive and scarce it is now. Have they stopped making this model? I don't like most of the other Logitech mice compared to this one, for one reason or another.

I just bought Logitech's V20 Notebook speakers with a $40.00 rebate (if purchased by the 28th-July). Are you saying they are not honoring the rebates? You have not been rebated?

I'm sorry I checked... Logitech does not stock them anymore they were usually $10. Try to email or call them but I dont think it will be helpful. They may check your serial # and if the warranty is still valid (5 yrs) they may issue you a replacement. They did the same when a VX (former top of the line) I owned began to have trouble. They sell it (the receiver) also on that auctions website but for ridiculous prices.

I'd get a different product. There's a chance that it'll work fine for you, but if it doesn't work, it's a real pain to fix. I ended up having to reinstall the entire operating system in order to get the thing up and running. May as well spring for a newer model. The actual problem was most likely a conflict with leftover bits of Logitech drivers and software, but I was never able to track them all down and eliminate them.

I do know. Have you checked with Logitech's website and/or searched Amazon.com?

I believe this was the most up to date unit, they have been around a while and I wasnt aware that there was a newer version for maybe quite some years? Don't know for sure though, I suspect the price drop (as well as the price drop on the G-system) that has occurred fairly recently is a sign that they may be poised to release some new models? but have searched and found nothing on this subject. This was a nice unit though!

I would contact Amazon or Logitech. Was it torn upon purchasing, or was it torn after using it. Did you set it on something that might have poked a hole or torn it? Amazon is great about returns...

wow still they are trying to get upwards of 140.. what a scam. I would be pissed if I bought one at that price not realizing.. especially since logitech is abandoning it.

No. People are trying to make easy money over-hyping something that is still available for nearly the same price it was released years ago. They discontinued the mouse, but it is NOT that rare yet, and CERTAINLY not worth 200 dollars.

Thank you. You should be able to discuss this with the manufacturer as to why the letter vanish. I am sure I can buy a new one, but I had a keyboard for 10 years that was still quite legible. The one that came with the PC is shabby. Also, please tell me why this computer is listed now at $845.00 ... Did I receive a used one ?

Be careful Kenneth. I think Logitech is going under. I have been trying to order new cameras and parts for a long time. I can't get them.

You can search for it on the internet or go to Logitech.com you should be able to find one!

I came here from Uncrate.com who is reporting it only costs $650 with WIRED.com saying it's $600, but it's still selling here for $900. Either price point is absurd in my opinion, and I'm just as amazed as you are people are buying it at such a high cost.

logitech made some follow-on trackballs that were wireless and looked like - to some extent - the marble fx, but there were not any direct models of the fx marble that were wireless. sorry. they only made it (as is) for about a year then went in another direction. have no idea why, but in my opinion they tossed the best overall trackball ever. have managed to get hands on four, two for backup. for a 'rogue' creation, that i don't know. ajr
