Why is it that Roku, iRiver, Creative, etc. can all support Play For Sure formats, but Slim cannot??
I just went through the entire Play For Sure thread and never found a simple answer to that question. I can't imagine services like Rhapsody and Yahoo Music don't want as many people to be able to use their service as possible (especially since Roku supports those services). Microsoft has never been shy about spreading their technology anywhere they can. I can't imagine this isn't feasible from a technical standpoint (once again, Roku supports it). So what's the deal?? Does Slim not want to support these formats? Is this something in the works and the software just isn't there yet? Is the licensing a significant cost that Slim feels could hurt profits if absorbed or hurt sales if its passed on to the customer? We can debate the merrits of Play For Sure formats all day, but I'm sure I'm not alone in just wanting to know what does the future hold for Squeezebox users and these formats?? -- Chop _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
