Thank you all for the feedback and answers. I'm looking forward to WMA support (I voted for bug #1763 !), because the Internet Radio Stations I would like to listen to use this format.
On the role of the SqueezeNetwork I personaly see some pros and cons: - On the pro-side I see the additional services that some people might like such as an alarm clock or the natural sounds. To me those are of no importance. And I would be surprised if the RSS feeds are such an interesting feature. We are talking about a radio connected to the stereo, so I wander if people will be watching the display that closely to follow the RSS feeds. I see it rather as a fancy feature. - On the cons side I see the serious disadvantage of being dependent on the SqueezeNetwork server. If the service is stopped someday or the server is down then forget about PC-less operation. I doubt if support for full standalone operation in the firmware (having a list of URLs stored localy and providing routines for selecting a URL from the localy stored list) would require so much resources in terms of memory space or complexity. I would definitely appreciate having support for full standalone operation, maybe in addition to the SqueezeNetwork operation. As such people could enjoy the benifits of current and future services offered by the SqueezeNetwork and at the same time have the possibility of Radio Streaming without a PC in case the SqueezeNetwork is unavailable.
