This is probably a dumb question, but what does Google Play bring to a Squeezebox system? I look at what is available on Google Play in Chrome on my pc and it's 98-99% MP3 copies from my library and 1-2% of tracks/albums that are presumably recommended based on what is in my library. And there a

Is LMS reporting itself as 7.7.4, or is it only new firmware (r16676)? If the latter, then it may be the new firmware to fix issues with Rhapsody/Napster (see http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?100830-Rhapsody-crashing-Squeezeplay-devices/page9). If the former, got me boss. ---

Imo that's exactly what it is, potentially good news. You can bet that Logitech won't jump at the public API, but I bet one of the clever and enterprising developers in the SB community will take a whack at writing a plugin to use the Beats API. I'm a MOG subscriber (staying with them until the pu

It does sound as if the metadata in the files has been changed. You should check the file modification times to verify. I hope that you can undo the mess simply by copying over the library from your backup copy (you do have a backup, right?). There may be a setting in iTunes Match to tell it to l

It would be much easier to answer your question if you said what country you live in. I've had good experience in the US buying via Amazon, where it is usually around US$10, or about 1/3 of the price Logitech charges. As Mnyb says, it's the same battery as the Logitech Harmony 1000/1100 remote.
