Well, I didn't really agree with much of it, I'm afraid. My PC is left on most of the time, or has wake-on-LAN, so it makes sense to use it to host music, rather than need to transfer music to another piece of kit (NAS, USB Disk, etc). It's nice that Players can connect direct to internet to stream radio, I expect customers to identify with that. But I expect that most customers who have music ripped to local disk have it connected to a PC. eg. hoards of people who use iTunes to sync up to iPods.
I would expect that having software that reports back to Logitech with usage stats would scare a lot of people. I always disable things like that in WMP, iTunes, etc. I'd imagine at least half of the community base would not opt in (I think it's a legal requirement to opt in to things like that in the UK, rather than give the option to disable). So, any stats would be skewed by the type of people that opt in/opt out. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
