+1  ;)

Precisely why I am also encouraged by the comments and the general
direction.  I see the same trends with my friends and acquaintances, as
well as my own listening.

I think many of the "audiophile" SB customers (I don't qualify myself)
too quickly dismiss the offered online content with a "who needs it"
attitude.  Well, the majority of customers want it and SB needs it to
stay relevant in the streaming hardware market.  The mass production of
these players keeps the per unit price *very* reasonable.  Take away
such services and your unit sales will plummet, making a Touch player
much more expensive and eventually dropped by Logitech (or whoever) all
together as an under performer in their product offerings.

Like everyone else I hope they don't dumb it down too much, we wait we
see.
