like many of you, i too have been concerned about the impending demise of mog and wondering about playing music through the Touch. i must admit my prior perceptions about monster cables and beats brand were, simply put, not so good. and now, i read about the lurid business history behind these two operations. i will most likely pack up my mog playlists over to spotify and hope for the best. i have been on spotify last two days or so and it's been overall impressive especially the native windows app. some quirks but generally very functional and attractive. some apps within spotify are good; e.g., blue note for jazz, etc. few negatives so far: no way to save favorite albums or artists, just tracks. no way to easily empty out the current queue here's to better days ahead for us streamers and squeezeheads.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pavowren's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=51958 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100477 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
