Well the great thing about opensource is it can be fixed. While I don't have time to learn the whole SQ infrastrcuture, I for one have some 25-years programming experience, I typically don't code in perl but can. In a couple of years I will be retired with enough time on my hands to give back to this great project. There are many others I'm sure. The down side is its all too complex, which is the up side for those of us here. We can get it to do almost anything. Unless the server and clients are dumbed down and made much easier, it will always be a hard sell for music aficionados. Logitech tried to dumb down the Squeeze radio with the UAE, and we all complained... and were delighted when we could turn them back into a Squeeze radio. The first I'm most interested in is a SB Touch like device with quality audio components, and a good(low noise) power supply. If you doesn't exist by the time I retire, I might have a go, I have all the design and manufacturing contacts... --------------------------- http://about.me/markcathcart Running a ReadyNAS NVX LMS Server, Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.0 - 1423154751; Squeezebox Touch, Boom, Radio devices.
