Understandable. But I can say that with well over two years using SB players I have experienced very little downtime utilizing Internet Radio and Music Services, and obviously these are completely dependent upon SN/MySB being functional. I literally stream 24/7 to my Boom, it is never off. :) Being dependent on an online service like SN/MySB has it's advantages and disadvantages. For me, I love having all my streaming services on such an online service as it simplifies both management and use of my Music Services and saved Favorite stations. All accounts and Favorites are accessible from any computer or SB player anywhere I go (assuming I have access to high speed internet). I bring my SB players to many functions with friends and family, they love it, no computer needed. The down side, as you state, is if Logitech were to pull the plug on MySB or just stop actively supporting it. This slow death is currently happening to the Roku service. But seeing that Logitech is investing so much time, money, effort, and resources into MySB... plus investing heavily into two new players (both will be BIG hits IMO).... one of these players (Radio) is almost specifically designed for MySB use.... I don't see MySB having such Roku-like issues for many years to come. It could come tomorrow, who knows, but I think this is highly unlikely. :) -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69446 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
