It only affects WiFi networks where you don't have to log in (or log in only after the connection to the network). Your home network will know the MAC. The problem is that some companies, such as Starbucks started to track iPhone users even if they just passed by their stores, just from the initial communication with the device (even before connecting to the network) and so creating movement profiles of users and such. Apple doesn't want people to create movement profiles of their users (they only want iAd to be able to do that.... but in fairness you can opt out of that and delete your ID whenever you want purging everything that has been collected until then, a control you don't have over third parties not even telling you that you are being tracked). In LMS it should not be a problem, iPeng tells you the MAC you are using and you also have the device name. Unless you keep uninstalling and re-installing iPeng it's not a problem. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
