Internet radio provided by TuneIn will continue to work as long as you
upgrade to the 7.8 beta release of LMS (it won't work in 7.7 and earlier
releases of LMS).
Third party plugins installed in LMS will continue to work, for example
Triode's Spotify plugin, Bandcamp plugin and Qobuz plugin.
Most online services provided by Logitech, like Rhapsody, Pandora, WiMP
and others will not work.
The Squeezebox Touch/Radio uses mysqueezebox.com for artwork rescaling
when listening to online services and internet radio, this will stop
working when mysqueezebox.com is shutdown but the latest 7.8 beta
release of LMS have a built-in artwork scaler so it would probably be
fairly easy to switch the Radio/Touch firmware to use that instead.
There are work going on in the community, for example in the ickStream
project, with the intention to add support for more online services
without dependency to mysqueezebox.com.
At the moment there are no indications that Logitech is about to
shutdown mysqueezebox.com and the best way to guarantee that they will
keep it running is to continue using functionality that depends on
mysqueezebox.com.
