Yes, completely agree. With the proliferation of network-enabled devices (receivers, tvs, blu-rays, streamers, consoles) and only DLNA as standard, there was the brief opportunity to push Squeezebox as an open platform rather than just a handful of devices. But I don't suppose this was ever something that would interest Logitech. Maybe I've missed the point, and Logitech have realised that we are all soon to be slaves to the cloud, no need for local libraries at all. And every electronics manufacturer with a soldering iron is starting to offer a route to these online sources via smart apps etc. If so, then the UE radio does make sense as an offering. For me, the transition from local to cloud doesn't seem imminent, but I guess the existing Squeezebox products will cater for my needs for the next couple of years at least. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ squishy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35390 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96188 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
