Raspberry Pi has saved the bacon of LMS. Look back a few years and think how many people were saying that the server was the problem (and it was, admittedly.)
There are now 2 mainstream protocols for home audio streaming, Airplay and upnp. Until these make some progress (or we all evaporate into the cloud), LMS with old hardware players is still a superior system. And LMS can bridge to new hardware/services. I don't count on boutiques to improve on upnp or airplay. I don't need cloud lock-in on my property. I don't believe an SB hardware player will ever happen again. We are in a stall and to me the end seems further than nearer. I think we have to commend the way Logi still sticks to its "customers" (after a string of errors or miscalculations of dire consequences.) 4 SB 3 iPeng (iPhone + iPad) Squeezebox Server 7.9 (linux) with plugins: CD Player, WaveInput by bpa IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) Server Power Control by Gordon Harris Smart Mix, Music Walk With Me, What Was That Tune? by Michael Herger PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld ShairTunes2 by disaster123 Local Player, BBC iPlayer by Triode Auto Dim Display, SaverSwitcher, ContextMenu by Peter Watkins. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103926
