I know from feedback and service questions in the past that at some point around 50% of users (primarily Radio devices) seemed to not run LMS but just use MySB. Over the course of the years these have become fewer and fewer, though and now most users who write to me have LMS and a lot use at

It would be interesting to see how many LMS users also have subscription to one of those stream engines (spotify, pandora,...). I have a hunch that it is lower than 10%. I personally use free spotify account and play it trough iphone to LMS devices and it works great. I think it's more , there

However I think LMS 7.9 has a built in rudimentary fallback to TuneIn for radio if no LMS exists , so 7.9 should still present some radio menus ? Yes, LMS 7.9 should provide the Radios menu even without mysb.com. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list

Well slimdevices.com was renewed mid 2016 for one year. Since it is the defacto support touch point for SB users I don't see why it wouldn't be renewed yearly until SB.com is finally put out to pasture. Which doesn't mean the forum software can't go away, but then again I can't see the advantage
