There isn't anything in either of those comments (the 2nd one was mine) suggesting people are buying something they don't want because they are following market trends.
In fact, you may have it turned around: manufacturers are increasingly emphasizing online streaming services because that _is_ what growing numbers of people want. Of course the manufacturers are going to follow the money. Personally, I bought my SBs for the same reason, to stream my local music to anywhere in the house, or even outside. And that's still what they do best and the functionality hasn't take a back seat at all. But I've since found the on-demand services like MOG to be great for trying out music to see if it's worth buying the CD, to the point where I don't mind the costs, be they $5/mo or less privacy about what I listen to. Obviously ymmv. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95617 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
