Thats not the LMS download count. Its the number of new users
registering for my Alexa skills which I can see in the Amazon logs.
Was looking to buy one, but prices have been gazumped, so cheers for
that Darko :(

I think maybe the appearance of Darko's GOAT review for LMS explains the
5x increase in daily installs of MediaServer and LMS-lite over the past
month or so. I was wondering where all the sudden interest was coming
from :rolleyes:

years later!

My Controller is starting to play up - I suspect the battery is coming

Never had a touch. I went for the Duet as an upgrade from a classic,
and had frequent wireless issues, but the killer was a hardware failure
with the remote charger. I like that Darko emphasizes the software and

Nice show, true to the end.
I have 2 duets and one additional receiver.
No problems other than the power supplies for the receiver.

Im sure the issue depends which WiFi Router / Access Point you are

A great review of the Touch and the Squeeze platform! I've been happily
Squeezing my music since Christmas 2008 when I got my first Duet. I now
run 2 Duets, a Pi with PiCorePlayer and a Boom. Don't get the big deal
about the Duets, mine run on WiFi flawlessly. I did have to replace the
