Aren't the SBTouch and SBRadio, in effect, "software players"?

Personally, with the right leadership, I can imagine a small but self
sustaining community built around a fork of LMS and a good recipe for
reasonably priced home brew hardware + squeezeslave / squeezeplay.  With
improvements in the tune-in URL UI, perhaps a community maintained
on-line db of streaming sources and 3rd party plugins for Pandora,
Spotify, etc., we might even end up not missing MySB.com that much.  

Certainly, there are many ways in which LMS fails to meet my needs
(browse by composer, anyone?) and I'm sure that's true for others as
well.  If such a community was to coalesce, I'd hope that it would push
LMS development forward and not just keep the code under a glass dome in
maintaince mode.
