When I started using Squeezeboxes, there was no Squeezenetwork at all. You had to use Squeezecenter if you wanted to connect to internet radio or similar. If Squeezenetwork was finished as a service tomorrow, you could still use your existing hardware with Squeezecenter, and if Squeezecenter was withdrawn tomorrow, you could still use the latest iteration of the software for as long as your computer hardware would support it. I know this isn't quite the point you are making, but it's not true to say the SB's could be reduced to paperweights. The potential difference is that you brought your Squeezeboxes with the intention of only ever using Squeezenetwork, which I didn't. That being so, I would imagine you understood the potential limitations of the service. Squeezenetwork is not a replacement for Squeezecenter by a long, long way - it is essentially a light-featured external server with support for internet radio and certain music services. Personally, I do wonder if Logitech should do more to make this clearer to prospective purchaser. I also agree that Squeezenetwork functionality could be improved with things like playlists, but I suspect the changes that would be needed to support individual playlists are not trivial. I hope this comes across ok - I'm not disagreeing with what you say at all (well, other than the paperweight bit), but trying to explain why I expect SN to stay feature light compared to Squeezecenter. -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?
