Which is why there is so much effort in the SB community put into running SC/SBS on Network Attached Storage devices. Heck, people are even running it on intelligent wall warts now! My NAS consumes about 5w in standby mode, and 18w serving music. That is about the same as one low energy lightbulb. It means that I can keep 7.3.3 - which works just fine for me. I think 7.3.3 was the last iteration of software designed specifically for the Duet / Boom / SB3 / Transporter line. Logitech have moved on with their product line and good luck to them. But if you don't want to get dragged along with them, and forced to accept software and firmware more appropriate to their new touch screen devices, then you will need to have a server on 24/7 - and for most, that means a NAS. -- TheLastMan Matt SB Duet (Controller + two receivers) Synology Diskstation 107+ with FW 2.0-0844 SqueezeCenter 7.3.3 on Synology Package Manager Netgear DG834GT wireless ADSL modem/router Naim 42/110 amp, B&W CM2 speakers in living room.
