That describes me very well. I stumbled across the UE Radio, probably when it was being closed out. I had no knowledge of the history behind it, but it looked interesting. I used it with the stock firmware for a week before upgrading it to the Squeezebox Radio firmware. After reading about what was possible with the Squeezebox firmware, I couldn't think of any reason not to go that route. Not long after I started using LMS, I forgot about the Radio, as I was strictly using software players. I've recently rediscovered the Radio and put it back into use. It's a very welcome addition to the home audio system that has evolved over the past five years. But, good as it is, LMS is much more important to me. I agree that Logitech probably blundered when they abandoned the Squeezebox hardware platform, but I'm very grateful that they've allowed LMS development to continue, and supported it to some extent. I can't help wondering how much longer that will continue, and if the user community will find a way to keep going when mysqueezebox.com and this forum shut down. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RobbH's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109939 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
