You make a very good point, and you're right, it wasn't hard once I knew where to go. I think the Squeezebox is one of the best kept secrets in the industry. I've been a customer since 2006 and plan on staying a customer for a long time. I was frustrated (and a little worried) that I lost my Softsqueeze but am glad that, with your help, I was able to get it back. I wonder if Logitech would consider creating a more "retail" type software player they could either sell or use to push ads for the Squeezebox hardware? I'd love to see a Squeezebox in everybody's home. This thing should be like an iPod but it seems that very few people are as enlightened as you and I. Thank you. -- jameswendt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jameswendt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5318 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78547 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
