I don't think they were trying to take away any functionality with having the mysqueezebox.com option. They were trying to accommodate users who couldn't have/didn't want to have a computer/full server running. So for those that just want to listen to internet radio, or streaming services without a computer, they have that option along with the stripped down version of the server for a USB drive for their own music. I know before I had my permanent server it was nice to be able to listen to something when the computer was off, and I've never felt I was lacking any functions by having both options available. So I don't understand the hostility. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rayman1701's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41326 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95617 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
