True - a Pi based player isn't for everyone.  I guess an off-the-shelf
easily configurable device would have a place.

I completely agree with the OP - I still feel bitter at Logitech's
mishandling of the product line.  SONOS have proven that the market was
there for the taking, and with Slim Devices' head start and Logitech's
reach it should have been a doddle.  I have a vague recollection of
someone from Logitech taking over the reigns and canvassing for opinions
on the product line.  I doubt anyone suggested starving it of investment
and advertising.  I too would like to see the concept/name/product
rights sold to an enthusiastic development company, but it feels like
Logitech will never allow that.

The really great thing now though is that the concept has survived
despite the product line being strangled.  Thanks to continued LMS and
player software development from a dedicated few, we can now build our
own players and servers for pocket money.  Long may it continue.
