Squeezebox was the opposite of that.
Of course I may be wrong, but I think this is a pretty accurate assessment of what has transpired. That being said I applaud those who continue to maintain the LMS system. Not being the fan of the numerous subscription music "systems", they hold no interest for me. Call me a dinosaur but I choose to have the music I want to listen to, be it vinyl, Cd's or computer files all of which I can play when I choose. There are myriad music providers, television providers, cellphone providers etc. For me the older way just works better. Oh, and I do save a few $ in the process. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dasmueller's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38035 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104968 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
