I've been picking up spare players from eBay for a couple of years now, I look after my system of 3 Radios, 1 Boom and 1 Touch and my sister's setup with 2 Radios and a Touch. At the moment we both only listen to either our own collection of ripped music or radio, no paid music streaming services yet so will happily continue with LMS, my sister has an Amazon Alexa and we were looking forward to trying the voice control of LMS by HaB-Tunes but sadly that seems on hold at the moment. If I ever go to a paid service then at the moment it would be Spotify so I can continue with LMS and Spotty, but maybe in the long term that will lead to a simpler setup with no maintenance probably one of the smart speakers. For spares I currently have 4 working Radios, a Touch, 2 SB3 Classics, a Duet and a brand new in-box Boom plus two failed Radios that when I feel the need I will make one good one out of the two, I also have new replacement screen for a Radio should we get another Radio screen failure (had two so far and one of the broken spares I picked up from eBay is a failed screen). Server wise I have switched from QNAP based to RPI based, for me not quite as reliable, but easier to maintain especially with all the latest plugins, if Digimaster's QLogitechMediaServer ever gets fully up and running with Shairtunes as well as all the good stuff he's already managed so far then I will look at switching back to a QNAP for LMS as my 4 core NAS is considerably faster than the RPI.
