It can get a little bit more complicated . some service would not really like to have thier "secret handshake" running on open source software at the end users machines . So the secret part must in some cases run elsewhere . They actually want to deal with a commercial entity if its not their very own implementation . They are happy to handle help and APi keys to Sonos or Logitech or whatnot but not "John Doe" the hobby developer . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
