This is a problem , their model depends on continues new sales of players . That's where the money comes from
You get updates to the server software for free . You get new possibilities and updates at the mysqueezebox.com portal now and then (albeit some of it certainly paid by some service vendors ) . If only kept my SB3 from 2006 I've could got a lot of milage from that one , I have now expanded to more players like so many others But I,m also out of rooms now . 5 years of free software maintenance for a 230$ product that's nice :) But they need to move more player to get a cashflow . And as the user-base grows they get secondary incomes from service vendors . Even if we here have all sort of opinions on how niche and nerdy this system can be and how it can be improved . It is still undermarketted for what it is. As the squeezebox systems stands now with the avaible players and servers . It still possible to sell more to people who wants it just like it is, It may not be sales volumes to compete with apple , but I'm convinced that it is several times the current user-base. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
