Yea, that "down"grade thing is because Logitech considered the move to the Smart Radio firmware an "upgrade".
The main difference is really that the Smart Radio is always controlled by UESmartRadio.com instead of your local server which means you can't use plugins and always need an online connection but you don't have to switch servers if your server/NAS doesn't run 24/7. But since Logitech didn't care to make sure there are NAS versions of the UE server you'll have to use the Squeezebox firmware if you want to go the NAS Route. In terms of functionality the Squeezebox certainly offers much more, the UE system was meant as a simplification rather than a functionality upgrade. The only thing I know of you will lose (if you use it) is iHeartRadio support. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 7, the Universal App for iOS 7* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101168 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
