Just to be clear, I'm not saying that Logitech needs to make Squeezebox
run without LMS, I'm just saying that they need to give people who don't
have a stationary computer to run LMS on an option.
Many of my non technical friends have purchased new computers during
the last 3 years but I think none of them got a stationary computer,
all got a laptop which is wifi connected. A wifi connected laptop which
usually runs on battery is not going to give them an enjoyable
Squeezebox experience.
These people either need a player which they can attach a USB drive to
directly or a separate server box with pre-installed LMS and a built-in
hard drive. However, the issue with a server box is that it's going to
get too expensive for them, so that solution won't work.
You can say that these people shouldn't use Squeezebox but then you are
also saying that Logitech should ignore at least 80% of the potential
market.
