Is there a (albeit small) market for them? Sure. But when your competition for the above is CDs & downloads, Bluetooth & WiFi, streaming, Blu-ray, DVD .. why would you? Then try getting investors interested in the same. Try convincing investors to poor cash into a business model that is a small niche market, was a failed investment by a multi-billion dollar mass marketing behemoth (Logitech), is tied to a free community supported server program, your competition is Google/Android & Apple & Amazon, in a market where multiple other companies large and small failed . And where another form of competition is a sub $100 Pi or micro computer DIY project, or a smartphone/Android device . Its an uphill battle for a very niche market. Just last year Sonos laid off employees and its CEO co-founder stepped down for most of the same reasons above. Im one of the few niche customers who would actually buy a resurrected SB device, Im not against it. But Im also not foolish enough to invest in such a venture. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107821
