Hi,
Does anybody know a good Squeezebox alternative? I'm not really
confident that the Logitech Squeezebox lineup will last much longer.
Important features (to me):
.flac support
hi-res support
Something like SugarCube
I've taken a look at Sonos, but it doesn't tick all the boxes, and the

For local files it will work as long as your hardware is ok, the system
can be used as it is even if logitech shutter the operation. And the
server is open source.
So you won't need new players untill they break.
However the mysqueezebox.com service depends on logitech :-/
I've found nothing
Another option I use often. Sync between players. I forgot that one.
ì've looked before but I haven't found a good alternative to
Squeezebox.

I does not really matter if it can't play 24/96 the server will
transcode to 24/48 in the background, providing that you don't have
some wierdo file types settings or custom transcoding rules that breaks
