There is no reason to toss the SBs out of your home yet.

Local playback will always work via a local server, if newer NAS are not
supported, simply run LMS on a MiniPC with something like squeezeplug.

The real problem is, online functionality. Will online services continue
to work. Like Spotify etc. 

Also if one was planning to get more players to set them up around the
house, does one really  want to invest into an extinct productline?
The really stupid thing is that the new player will not be compatible,
syncable with the old players - which is the biggest problem.


I for now am happy with my squeezeboxen, but yes I wonder what will
happen once one of my boxes breaks down or functionality is limited.

For me there is no real alternative to the SBs at the moment. Maybe
Sonos will finally update a player and get up to speed, but probably
not. Why should they, they are moreless the only ones on the market.

Who knows maybe in a few years when all our boxes have died, we will
only  have Minipcs running squeezeslave, or ithingies with iPeng - then
none of the streaming companies will get our cash...
