[slim] Official Logitech Announcement re new UE *and* support for Squeezebox Players
http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Squeezebox-Players/Announcement-Logitech-UE/m-p/880706#M7131 Very general language (as expected), but they do mention squeezebox support: Rest assured that the Squeezebox platform youve been enjoying over the years will continue to provide you access to a rich world of music and well continue to address any questions or troubleshooting on our Logitech.com support page: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/speakers-audio; garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96229 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Doesn't really explain what the future holds for the old platform. They're saying the old platform will continue but for how long until you'll be forced to move over to UE platform to continue enjoying the experience? Just a bunch of words with no real facts which you can interpret in many ways. A very political statement. 05mattjax's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39786 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96229 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I only posted as it was the first somewhat official public announcement I'd seen of the new UE that even referred to the legacy squeezebox line. garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96229 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The minute Logitech feels they can legally drop supporting mysqueezebox and LMS , they will do it . So what is the warranty on a Touch? One year ? I give it a year or two . No more Logitech products for me . They discontinue and give up on product lines way too soon . jhonsber...@msn.com's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4438 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96229 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

They really need to have an official announcement about how long the online music services will still be supported. cncb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8501 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96229 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Official Logitech Announcement re new UE *and* support for Squeezebox Players
Before mysqueezebox.com came along (as an option for people who didn't like/need a local server) we did just fine. Why should that not be possible again? I use a local server and I have no idea if it actually accesses mysqueezebox.com once in a while, but it should be possible to cope with in a post mysqueezebox.com scenario if it happens. Also, we have enjoyed very good backwards compatability in the past. Our old SB's still work, this is thanks to the deveolopers but i guess also to Logitech who accepted that they treated us well.

It is possible if you only play music from your own library, not so great if you play internet radio or use one of the subscription music services. Currently I only use Spotify via Triode's plugin and BBC iPlayer, also via a Triode plugin! Somebody should start paying this guy. Hopefullly, as neither relies on Mysqueezebox.com, they will continue to work. I have never had much interest in internet radio and one streaming service is more than enough. I imagine that once MSB goes some enthusiasts will chip in and provide plugins to add back the most missed services. This won't last forever though. I expect most of us will have new kit in five years time.
