I'm finding that it won't auto brick when you try to connect it to an

I agree 100% that the internet connection requirement to listen to local
music is silly. I'd like to believe that the decision makers at
logitech will one day realize how retarted this is and will change it.
I understand the usability issue they are trying to adress, but this is
a non-solution.
What is the rational for the player needing to communicate with
Logitech's server to play local music? Software (a server) has to be
installed locally to play local music. It seems overly complicated and
unnecessary for the radio to have to communicate with Logitech's server
to play local
Wow. This is a direction I did not see coming. I think I'd be less
