I think saying they are "lying" is a bit strong and infers they were intentionally meaning to deceive. It costs Spotify time & money to cancel subscriptions so I just don't see where such a perceived "deception" would pay off for them. Perhaps "could be worded better" is a bit more accurate.
You also have to keep in mind that Spotify can't be an expert on all past and present hardware devices from all of the different manufacturers, Spotify compliant or not. They specifically mentioned the two current SqueezeBox models that are indeed Spotify compliant. Touch and Radio players have a number of features that the older SB players do not have, like native AAC playback and ability to play hi-res music files. But it would not make sense to place on the marketing publications for these older players "be careful, this player will not play AAC or hi-res files". Not disclosing such limitations is no more deceptive than Spotify's (albeit, maybe poorly worded) explanation of streaming Spotify on current SB players. I do sympathise with your misunderstanding of such SB player compatibility with the Spotify service, I just don't agree that it rises to the level of intended deception. As a final note, keep in mind the real reason why the older players are not Spotify "compliant", it's the record companies that are limiting how Spotify can be used (which in turn limits which devices can be used). If such restrictions were different then Spotify would sell more subscriptions and SqueezeBox would sell more players, where currently neither one benefits from such restrictions. -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84671 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezenetwork
