Probably no one can answer that question since there are no figures available. But since Logitech killed the Squeezebox product line it is safe to assume that it will be slowly shrinking. True there are lots of great forum projects out there but how long will they be able to keep up with the ever changing world of streaming? For me personally that is not a big issue because I mainly stream my local music. I even dropped my Spotify subscription because I didn't use it much. I still have enough players around to keep me going for a long time. So I won't be jumping ship anytime soon (and I would certainly miss the great Squeezebox features no other product has). In regards to USB, that is possible with a Touch but also with the 3rd party hardware players. So that should not be a show stopper. ctbarker32 wrote: > > I am also discouraged that pretty much all of the proprietary music > server systems seem to use DLNA type technology that we all know doesn't > hold a candle to the performance and features of LMS. > > -CB Stay as far as possible from dlna. In a nutshell, it sucks big time for audio streaming. The streaming expert companies (Sonos, Squeezebox, Simple Audio and others) stay away from it for a good reason.
