What people don't like is not the issue here; what works for Logitech Squeezeboxes is. My reasons for buying into Apple technology have nothing whatsoever to do with this thread, anymore than me using Windows XP to run Visual Web Developer to implement .NET systems.
I have been asking "what works" to drive SqueezeBoxes. I posed a scenario to try to keep the discussion positive. As the thread lengthens this approach gets less effective. I accept the point that ripping is at best a transitory phase for most people and the present, let alone the future, is downloads, or... ... more radically don't own music but just listen to the "cloud". I have a daughter who has Last.FM on all day and I suppose I should look into Spotify. We live in interesting times. Beyond that I don't think I have learnt anything except that the Touch can run a server as well as act as a client. That is interesting. I have suggested elsewhere that Logitech should support a preferred server solution without compromising the current, open nature of the system. Could this be it in such a small box? Plus an external drive of course until the cost of solid-state memory comes down. Unless some other suggestions come along I think I am going to save up for a Tranquil workstation (virtually silent, I am told), load Ubuntu Server on it and hope I can remember how to get Samba working as easily as I did last time. This doesn't meet the scenario requirements I know, but this thread does not seem to be heading in that direction anyway. Time to move on to other things.
