So since this is a full-blown cloud service: how much would you be willing to pay as a monthly subscription? We've had this topic in the past - and I did consider it a few times as a business model before. The problem at hand is that I don't like dying business models, in the sense that long term the number of potential users shrinks, not grows. Let's all face the truth: people are moving towards streaming instead of owning music. You and me are probably different but the number of people doing this is not growing. It's more complicated, you have to organize your own files and you have to get hold of the files in the first place. Spotify et al on the other hand have a readily indexed database with millions and millions of songs and can offer you easy access at home as well as mobile. So the question really is not as much one of development but one of "how many are people willing to pay on a subscription basis". And how many of those people are out there? --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109877 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
