Very true. Even the devices with built in internet radio and/or services use a server. Like the networking AVR's which typically use Reciva or vTuner in the background. If no local server and vTuner is down then my AVR cannot stream anything from the internet. The difference is that most people either don't know there is a server at work or they don't need to care about it because these servers are very reliable and very simplistic in features and usage. This is where LMS and MySB struggle because they are far more complex, far more customizable, offer many more services and features, updated often (to both add features and fix issues), etc... Which in turn seems to make them far less reliable for the average user. That said, I've had very few issues with either LMS or MySB, but obviously not everyone can say that. :( -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91090 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
