Just install it and forget it.
It's extremely stable and easy to use.

The concept of LMS is in my opinion the greatest strength of the system
and what set it apart from the competition (many of which withered and
died long before SB). It is also the reason I went for SB instead of any
of the other systems. The actual implementation of LMS may have left

How ironic... I love it because it's infinitely tweakable! ;-)
the biggest mistake was that they bought something they clearly didn't

the second biggest mistake is that the business model was idiotic. the
hardware cost way too much, was a one time thing, and didn't fund what
actually cost them money, which was development of a slow, lumbering,

It's shockingly hard to believe, that Logitech would just abandon this

sold off the division to another company.

Market economy, if they don't earn enough on the products it's better
for them to focus on something else.
On top of this many people in their management really never understood
the products.

Not sure I agree, NAS box's perfectly capable of running server software
are becoming ever more popular, hell even my mate jools now has a decent

(this is an old argument. The SB is a networked audio system, not
point-to-point. And the slim server was in existence when iTunes was
