To my mind, this event just demonstrates the validity of the existing Squeezebox concept - Cloud service and/or local server services.
All those people shouting at http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/mysqueezebox.com.html that they are off to get another internet radio don't seem to realise that 99% of internet radios connect to some database server somewhere to get the radio stream links. They've all had server downtimes - admittedly some more than others, and some have just disappeared! Very few IRs offer the current flexibility of SBs - if people simply read the userguide they got with their device, then they might have cottoned on to the possibility of running a local server (even temporarily) on their PCs. Yes, two days downtime is a pain ... but really, there are viable alternatives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ castalla's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15624 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97038 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
