If you bought your devices with the primary goal of listening to streaming online services then I can understand your dissatisfaction. You must, of course, recognize that you're relying not only on Logitech's continued support but also on the ongoing existence of the streaming companies themselves and on them maintaining a pricing level, selection, and audio quality that you find satisfactory. In other words, there are a number of interdependent pieces here that could fall apart. I'm pretty content relying on the cloud, but there are many for whom that level of uncertainty is not acceptable and it's a strong argument for owning and maintaining your own music. FWIW, I've now owned various Squeezeboxen for about a decade and even my oldest devices are still in daily service and have more capability than when I bought them. That's a pretty good argument for the longevity and flexibility of the Squeezebox ecosystem. Will the next ten years be as kind? I'm not sure, but as an overall architecture the Squeezebox world has a good track record. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96660 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
