If there is a LMS on the local network the internet traffic is obviously limited.
However, as I said, I haven't verified the actual numbers, I was just trying to say that slim devices typically requires more network traffic than devices with more logic on the device itself. Maybe the network traffic and resource usage on mysqueezebox.com is a lot less than I suspected it is. But let's not get into a debate regarding this, I was just trying to explain that a cloud server for content aggregation isn't necessary a bad thing, at least if the protocols and architecture is designed for it. mherger wrote: > > What?

However, previous Squeezebox hardware is not our main priority, it's just something we want to work because we own Squeezeboxes ourselves and if possible we would like to give existing Squeezebox users an option for online music also in the future if Logitech would eventually shutdown mysqueezebox.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98467 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
