That's all true .was just hoping something good would come even if
licensed . I google some , but let me ask this lazy question is their
any particularly good CCA enabled device out there that you recommend ?

Music streamers are in some particular hell imho .

There is no widespread standard protocol ? Instead it s isolated islands
like this CCA and apple doing thier stuff Sonos have thier niche etc.
And I f dlna was thought to be that standard ,well it does not seem to
be working .

You who do code .

Is ther anyone thinking about some open player protocol ? I take a guess
that slimproto or what it's called for our squeezeboxes actually are
that open . That someone could write players and servers . But I guess
no one has thought of advertising it as an open standard with
LMS/mysqueezebox.com as some kind of reference application :)
