If I had to guess... With both Amazon and Google offering cloud storage AND music purchasing, I wouldn't be surprised to see one or both of these services coming soon. This would explain the effort in "scaling up MySB" as mentioned by Andy. There's probably money to be made here, as Logitech could get a small portion of music purchases made from Squeezebox players through an affiliate arrangement. They also get top billing as being the maker of home audio devices that support these cloud storage and purchasing systems. I too don't expect LMS to turn into a complete media management system. LMS is going to remain an "advanced" option for those with large music libraries, those who want to customize their experience beyond MySB, and those with lossless music formats. Official development on it will continue, but probably at a much slower pace. -- virgiliomi squeezebox devices: boom, duet, and radio dlna devices: sony bravia tv, wmp11 on win7 lms 7.7.2 beta running on a readynas ultra 2 plus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ virgiliomi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33715 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93278 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
