Why all the panic and rumour? The Touch is perfectly useable via LMS, even if development stops and/or mysb.com shuts down. That's a lot more then many other systems which depend almost exclusively on a database server accessible via the internet. Calm down. -- castalla 1 Touch - Muse M50

Very interesting report, if accurate. Sort of implies that LMS was an utter waste of time and resources ... especially since it fails miserably as a 'media' server compared with other free options. -- castalla 1 Touch - Muse M50 EX TPA3123 T-Amp Mini - Acoustics Q10 speakers - 2 duff ears

is a real pain - so I cut out the ballooned battery and just run it via the mains - but that sort of defeats the purpose of a semi-mobile device. So, beware cheap units where you can't change the battery easily. But then tablets with replaceable batteries aren't cheap either! -- castalla 1 Touch

I don't know if this already exists somewhere. I can't find anything similar. Most Reciva radios have a Last Listened or History menu item. This saves the last 10 stations listened to. Something similar would be useful on SB units. Does it exist? -- castalla 1 Touch - Muse M50 EX TPA3123
