It would be awesome before that point, for Logitech to release the code
for the radio the way Google releases the code for Android. As an open
source project, it would bring a tremendous amount of good will and cost
Logitech nothing.
The local LMS solution works great except that it is not easy or
recommended expose that server to the radio when the radio is not on the
home network. It would be great to cache key data so that the radio
still works when the server is not available.
Love the product. Despite some shortcomings, it is still better than my
grace digital or anything else on the market! We really appreciate your
help on keeping them running!
