One thing I have to add is a few years after jumping into the bandwagon of developping plugins for LMS, I'm still amazed by how robust the architecture is. I'm sure there are some "dark corners" in the code, as Michael calls them, but there is not a single addition I wanted to create that I was

I am a lifetime subscriber to Plex Pass (which I only for TV shows and movies), and I use Subsonic when I'm on the road, and NONE of the alternatives have the ONE plugin that I absolutely love about LMS: Charles Parker's Spicefly Sugarcube. I can start a seed track and listen for hours. Or

I pretty much already know the answer Which is?... Server" and not the original Squeezebox Server or later iterations. I know Logitech still owns the name and the (now defunct) hardware, but It's not really defunct, is it? Existing hardware should still work pretty much the way it did when

It gives Logitech some modest advertising/exposure, which I'm sure helps to justify the continued presence of this forum, for which they continue to pay. Small price, and more power to them. R. LMS on a dedicated server (FitPC3) Transporter (Ethernet) - main listening, Onkyo receiver,
