If SN were to be unavailable for a period of time, all Live365 stations would be unavailable? If so, an improvement would be for the local server to remember the last information retrieved from SN, so that it can present an older cache to keep some functionality. I'm wondering if performance would be slower for non-US based streaming. Will SN always be a free service? Will SN always be able to keep up with demand?
