Yes, that's true. Logitech was headed that direction with tinyLMS on the Touch. Maybe the technology wasn't quite ready back them, but it's certainly doable now. But I think another part of the problem is the younger folks are content to just use their personal devices and don't even really care to buy music anymore. Why do they need all this when they can just stream from YouTube on their phone? Did I just write "younger folks" in a post?
