+1 IMHO the abandonment of squeezebox is a decision based on how the product line is doing generally, but how the product line is doing generally is a function of poor management and decisions taken with the line since Logitech took it over. Particularly the quality of the software. I dunno even how my boxes are supposed to work anymore, I just press buttons and hope it does what I think it should. If this happened to UE, I am sure there'll be a lot going back to the shop. Maybe the UE central software whatever-it-is is a lot more reliable but seeing as logitech failed to make MSB reliable/userfriendly (and their solution was to abandon!?) I am sure UE will be a similar mess. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7125 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97012 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
