They need to work with the NAS vendors so that more offer Squeezeboxserver/LMS in their add ins .
upnp/dlna is simply not good enough . In a dream world there would be a "super dlna standard" and every one could just pick and match media players and UI front ends and servers however they wanted and shop just any NAS . The background problem is that streaming media and internet radio and services is a bit imature . And strong actors like Apple are creating their own de-facto standards and have large monopolies of their own . Cell phones and sat-tv is more mature you can put in your sim card in any phone and chose almost any operator ? and it works . You don't need a special AT&T phone or special Nokia sim card . But you do need a special reciva chip for thier offerings or vTuner or mysqueezebox.com . And all the the different service vendors want their own apps and proprietary protocols . I don't see a really simple and user friendly products as long as the media situation is a mess . And what about bying and downloading content to a media server outside iTunes ? -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
