We have a working beta prototype towards the newer models (Radio/Touch) and we have some ideas how we could support the older models, but at this stage we don't want to guarantee that the older Squeezebox hardware will be officially supported. Support for the older models is a matter of time and priorities, but hopefully some third party developer might be interested to implement support for the older models even if we wouldn't be able to prioritize it in the beginning ourselves.

It's mostly a matter of getting a commercial agreement with each service provider and this will take some time so we will have to prioritize some services in the beginning and add the other ones in a later phase. Some service providers won't even start a discussion until you can prove that you have a significant amount of users using the system. For services which have an open API, it will also be possible for third party developers to add support if we for some reason can't prioritize it ourselves. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
