I wrote this yesterday. While I agree that music is moving to the cloud, I do feel that it's time for the pendulum to swing back the other way. Cloud services continue to be increasingly risky from a security perspective. Userid/password management is getting more and more complex and diffuse, and the "ownership" of hardware is becoming increasingly questionable where it uses cloud services. I've had absolutely horrid service from ring.com in the last couple of months. https://cathcam.wordpress.com/2017/09/18/do-you-own-the-device-you-just-bought/ Home automation is so fragmented its hardly worth trying to do anything with. Keeping in the game via some form of hardware player would still be a good idea IMHO. --------------------------- http://markcathcart.com/about Running a ReadyNAS NVX LMS Server, currently 7.9.0; Transporter(Living Room)+Duet Controller; Squeezebox Touch(Master Bedroom), (2x)Boom(Office, Patio), Radio(Guest Bedroom), Classic(garage).
