Glad you like Squeezelite-X. I bought my first Squeezebox Receiver in 2008. I, too, am sad that Logitech dropped the product line, but I am very grateful that Logitech still keeps the servers going and that I can still use my collection of Squeezebox receivers (I have about 5). I am also very grateful for the work of those that keep Logitech Media Server going and those that have developed plugins and software players. I develop software as a hobby. I developed Squeezelite-X initially because it is something I wanted for myself - a Windows app that encapsulated the squeezelite player and provided a built-in browser interface to LMS and that could sit in the tray. Developing it and distributing it on the Windows Store has been a rewarding experiment and experience in its own right. Squeezelite-X has surpassed 1000+ acquisitions on the Store, which is about 10 times more than I expected and that is cool. I am thinking of at least adding a "Donate" button, which would at least help pay for the development tools cost I incur, but I just have not yet checked the Windows Store rules on that. Otherwise, this project runs solely on encouragement, so thank you for that.
