Yup, and I'd bet their interest in pursuing it now is pretty much zip.

You can do that now with LMS utilizing the WAV Input Plugin (sends
computer audio to SB players via LMS).  But it's not a seamless
operation.

I was quoting the review.

I did get an answer from iHeart Radio - they told me they're sorry they
don't support that.

Maybe someone will develop a small server to play the station on your
computer and then serve it to the LMS.

This is a great system, yes, the mysqueezebox.com web site is the weak
link and also lack of firmware updates, but it would be a great
opportunity for Grace to buy Logitech out and consolidate their position
in the field of offerings.

I assumed you had a Grace player based on your comment in another
thread.

iHeartRadio DOES work with internet players.  Just not your SqueezeBox
players.  
Works on UE Radio, Grace players (which you use), Roku players, Vizio
TV's, XBox, Amazon, Sonos, etc...

2017-11-22 Thread toby10

Many stations/networks restrict or prohibit listening outside of their
geographic region.  Content Licensing issues and added cost of server
capacity to destinations which cannot participate in their advertisers
products/services doesnt make financial sense.

iHeartRadio on SqueezeBox..  Highly unlikely either party 
(iHeartRadio or Logitech) want to spend time negotiating licensing
contracts for a long since discontinued product line that requires
access to an online server (MySB.com) which may be discontinued
tomorrow.   If you want iHeartRadio on your Radio your only option is to
switch to UE Smart Radio firmware.

Buying SqueezeBox from Logitech never happen and has been
discussed ad nauseum in here.

IHeart Radio is supported with the SqueezeBox Radio, I wonder if we
could start a GoFundMe page for firmware updates.

Someone should buy the defunct Logitech LMS networked player Division
and start selling the line again.

It does what nothing else does.

I have asked a friend @ WBZ Engineering for a URL that works.
