Yes Erland, I, with the help of this community, have learned the awesome functionality of the Squeezebox and I definitely appreciate all that can be done to customize the system. I would NOT TRADE that for the simplified dumbed down "smart" UE. That being said, I completely understand the need for them to simplify for mass marketing. Yes, it's disappointing but understandable. My point was that for the large numbers of consumers who bought into and learned (as I) the system, Logitech is going to stand behind that product line and support those of us who have invested big bucks into their products. I don't think they want a battle with a large group of unhappy consumers, ethically and even legally. That is NOT what brought LOGITECH to prominence and reputable. They are not dumb. I have many devices and I have bought friends devices and recommended Squeezeboxes to so many. I do feel bad that I no longer have a LOGITECH Squeezebox product that I can recommend. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ikabob's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32088 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97599 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
