You don't have to convince me, I own two Squeezeboxes.  However, for
the majority of people out there, you'd better believe that offering a
free software-based player is going to cost Logitech some money.

For instance, I know a friend can't afford a Squeezebox right now.  I'm
going to set up their computer system simply to distribute audio to
their stereo system upstairs and it will be controlled from their iPod
Touch using iPeng.  How much money has Logitech made from this?  $0.

Logitech need to start putting more attention into the Squeezebox line
as they're completely off the radar now in terms of consumer and media
mindshare.  Any time anything about music streaming comes up, every
reporter/blogger immediately mentions SONOS.  Usually, Squeezebox is
not mentioned at all. 

I think leaving Squeezeplay on the back-burner is a good idea and
they'd better start moving on some controller-only apps for popular
handheld devices, as well as coming out with a few more player
products.  While they're at it, they might consider making a decent web
page so people can actually find out about the Squeezebox family - the
current Logitech page is losing them a lot of sales.   Compare to the
Sonos page where you can find out almost everything you want about the
product(s).  Here's a neat thing to try.. Pretend you didn't know about
this forum and now go to what you might find as the official Logitech
page about Squeezbox and try to find this forum.  Good luck.
