But if someone already has legacy hardware and needs functions Touch can't provide (like transcoding of ALAC for non-SqueezeOS players) they will already have server hardware that can do this. It's new customers that won't have the hardware this really makes sense for.

This has always been a concern of mine. It's a GPL OS but a Logitech License for SqueezeOS and SqueezePlay. I think the basics are that you cannot distribute a compiled binary of either, so if you came up with compatible hardware you would have to distribute the source and have your users compile and install the results themselves. -- funkstar my collection: *1*x squeezebox radio *1*x squeezebox touch *1*x squeezebox boom *2*x controller, *1*x receiver *2*x sb3 (sliver/black), *1*x sb2 wired (silver) *1*x sb (black), *1*x slimp3 (with rear shield) interested in any others if you have them! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74694 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
