Dropping support for legacy devices and removing the ability to run your own server is a huge drop in features. The fact that my 1st gen. Squeezebox is supported by LMS and iPeng is what use to make me feel confident about buying new Squeezeboxes. When the 1st gen device got a slight revision by going from a text only VFD to a graphically VFD, you know what Sean and gang did for the people who bought the older device. They sold us a kit to swap out the display ourself and I think they did it at cost because the price was very reasonable. That is how you get return customers! The Radio and Touch have been excellent devices for me and hopefully will continue to work for many many years to come. Cause I do not see anyone coming out with a good replacement anytime soon. The fact that they are not providing a upgrade path for users with a large base of devices is just a big F-u to those users and those users should respond in kind. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96188 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
