Piont seem to be to traffic shape when needed , you get the full Rez
when your bandwith is up to it .

But .

Only a very limited amount of tracks at the moment .
So it can't be a drop in replacement for any current streaming service
due to the lack of program material .
If there is nothing to listen to the quality does not matter .

I can think of it as a complementary service to the ones I already have
and to my own collection , but then the price must be lowered.

There no piont going beyond > 16/44.1 for streaming . You can make
extremely weak arguments for 24/96 as a consumer format for disc or
download . 24/192 is just silly .

And .

There  electronics track offerings are at 16/44.1 and the classical
tracks are for the most 24/96 .

Do you need EDO : probably not as most tracks are 24/96 or less even if
an occasional 24/192 would show up LMS a would handle it trough
downsampling ( yes I think direct mysqueezebox.com support is very
unlikely ) .
So basically the need of EDO a is determined by the need for USB audio
and/or don't having a server capable of downsampling 192k or using DoP
.
And >96k demands external DAC as EDO won't make the squeezebox support
24/192 internally .

But hey . They are also a store so if some of thier limited music
offering suits you just buy the albums :)
So my questions would be is there anyway to get to thier online store
without forking out for a monthly subscription or is this subscription
only .
