Im sorry but this is just silly, people have said mysqueezebox.com is
doomed for over 10 years and its still (with a few exceptions) working
more or less as good as it did 10 years ago. I do agree that it will die
eventually, as everything else. Just as an example, it has so far
survived and been maintained longer than any of my Apple devices.
Reasoning the way you do it would be pointless to buy a new smartphone
today since its doomed, the latest iPhone is unlikely to be usable 5
years in the future so why buy and use it today. Are you sure Spotify
will be alive 2024 ?
I think the lifetime of Squeezeboxes (including mysqueezebox.com) is
exceptional. I think I have exactly one electronic device in my home
thats older than my Squeezebox Classic, everything except for my
Sherwood receiver has been replaced after I purchased the Squeezebox
Classic back in 2006. Im trying to think of any cloud services that has
been alive longer than mysqueezebox.com and realize there arent many.
Im not sure any of the premium streaming services on the market has
been alive as long as mysqueezebox.com
Having said this, mysqueezebox.com will eventually stop working but if
we want it to survive longer we should keep using it rather than stop
using it. It obviously get easier for Logitech to shut it down if nobody
uses it.
