:) That's one of the reasons I haven't taken it back yet, I've got half a feeling that in a month or so, there's going to be a way of making it work how it really should work. And if there is, it'll be worth every penny. Or Euro, or Dollar or whatever... I appreciate all the points you've made, and I daresay you're dead right, but I still feel not only misled, but intentionally misled. I know a *bit* about how computers work, and how streaming works and all that carry on, and maybe I was being naive, but even having read the links you posted there, I still don't see why it's so utterly dependent on logitech's servers. I get why it'd be reliant on them to stream music from Logitech, or their business partners. But the BBC streams are accessible by any PC capable of playing music. They don't need to be harnessed by streambox.com, given a polish and then sent to a device. It doesn't make sense (to me). Maybe I've got too much of an emotional attachment to radio, when I was ten I made a radio out of bits of wire and a resistor and an earphone. I shouldn't have to sit there configuring two devices so that I can listen to it. I should be able to turn it on, select the station and listen. -- Wykey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wykey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76875 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
