The 7.4.1 experience and current handset software for me has been really
good. Faster, more stable, better BBC support, better organized.
Really excellent and a world away from my initial Duet experiences.

announcing it the instant it was available. Having dealt with .0

Frankly, I'm cautious about *all* software upgrades at this stage in the
game. I've got over 25 years of hands-on, professional IT experience and
I tend to push my own gear way beyond the limit of reasonable duty cycle
and resource utilization. And one reason that it continues to work for

The problem with 7.4.0, it seems, is that it is still a beta release but
delivered as a semi-mandatory "stable" upgrade. And that was a mistake.
If it had been optional, and there had been a warning, I would have no
right to overly complain.
Since it was forced upon me given the fact I have hisot
I'm finding a very interesting correlation here. The odds that 7.4.x
will be capable of playing any given track in my collection (ALL of
which were playable under 7.3.x) seem to be inversely proportional to
Logitech's PE ratio.

Pascal Hibon? you've brought valid point.
It was the same for me. I've evaluated Squeeze Philosophy against Sonos

It is exactly the Philosophy and the ideas and community behind were

I guess that most of us know that this was initially a product line made
