Thanks for your reply. I, and I am sure many other users, are unclear why Napster has just stopped working for our devices
It must be buried somewhere in that other thread: Napster (and an increasing number of other services, incl. radio stations) now enforce the use of https for streaming. As the SB devices can't handle https, there's no way we can support this on them any longer directly. Development for these devices has stopped several years ago.
and don't really want to run a media server as a solution.
I fully understand. mysb.com (formerly squeezenetwork.com) was one of the first cloud services out there. And it's sole purpose was to allow you to stream to your SB without having to run any software locally.
Alas, Logitech decided to give up the product years ago. Nobody liked that decision. Yet it happened.
LMS is the only solution I can offer for this issue. It can easily be deployed on your PC or eg. a Raspberry Pi. But if that's not for you, then I'm sorry, you'll have to find an alternative solution.
If you are going to remove the Napster App from mysb.com, does this mean that you are speaking for Logitech, or at least know their official position?
Yes. You can assume that whenever a decision wrt. SB/mysb/SR etc. is taken, I'm asked for information first.
Is there no longer support for Napster direct (via mysb.com) from Squeezebox devices? If so, I would appreciate an explanation of what is happening and why.
See above. As for the why you'd have to ask Napster. But in general https is the new http. It's a development we didn't foresee more than ten years ago when the SB was developed.
