My top 3 concerns for Logitech/Slim Devices: 1. Will SS remain an integral part of Infrant's "Frontview" OS in their ReadyNAS line? ***this is critical for me*** 2. FLAC support in perpetuity (unless something better AND also free comes along in the interim)? 3. Squeezenetwork - including all the currently available programming (i.e. Radioio, etc.)? I cannot buy a Transporter until I se these three items addressed, particularily #1. -- Jetlag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jetlag's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1012 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28821 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
