Agree with all the above. I like to have ownership and control over the music I listen too. I would however like to access a streaming music service for a short time just to see what all the fuss is about. Indeed I have a friend who is mad keen for me to try it but as previously posted I have no access ;). The internet is a communication system, what happens if it falls over or someone cuts through a cable etc... How can you access the music then? Who is driving streaming music online? Is it the customers or is the companies? I also don't like the idea of storing my data online in "the cloud". Do we as consumers actually sit down and think of the ramifications of adopting new technology and services. Again, who is driving a lot of these ideas? -- Gingernut63 Gingernut63 MonkeySqueeze - Squeezing music into your life! http://twitter.com/#!/MonkeySqueeze1 MonkeySqueeze Support: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=59515 MonkeySqueeze Development: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=59907 Squeezebox Boom - SqueezePlay - Squeeze Player - MediaMonkey - MonkeyTunes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gingernut63's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48490 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91532 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
