Newer services often no longer encrypt their streams because rights holders today are less paranoid, they understand that it's not their paying customers who are trying to rob them. But Rhapsody is one of the first services around, they have old contracts and these contracts require the end-to-end encryption.
The WiFi encryption won't help, you know your password. Remember: it's YOU who they want to prevent from directly accessing the streams. The purpose is to make sure that YOU cannot record the streams. And yes, I'm well aware you still can... And yes, I'm also aware you probably wouldn't, but that's what this all about. It's the same kind of thinking as with then DRM in Audible and so many other nonsense going on. --- 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 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103529 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
